Who they are in the book
Spoiler-freePopé is a man from the reservation who becomes Linda’s lover and brings her mescal. John hates him, partly from jealousy and partly because he sees Popé as a violation of the heroic moral order he has learned from Shakespeare. John once attacks him, but Popé laughs rather than retaliates. His later fate is not narrated.
