Best Answer

In The Outsiders, the character of Johnny Cade was played by Ralph Macchio. Johnny does not like to fight because he has been both physically and verbally abused at home. He was also beaten by the Socs gang and lives in fear of having to fight.

Johnny Cade is portrayed as a sensitive and non-violent character in "The Outsiders." He does not like to fight and tries to avoid conflict whenever possible. His aversion to violence is a key aspect of his character development in the novel.

What actors could play Johnny Cade in the Outsiders?

Honey, any young actor with a brooding stare and a heart of gold could play Johnny Cade in "The Outsiders." We're talking Timothée Chalamet, Noah Schnapp, or even Tom Holland with a bad haircut. As long as they can rock a leather jacket and look like they've seen a rough day or two, they'll do just fine.

What is the ending of The Outsiders?

The ending to the Outsiders is that Johnny, unfortunatly, died in the hospital after being fatally injured saving kids from the fire in the church he and Pony were sheltered by. Dally, caring for Johnny more than his life, was left hardbroken and cracked. Johnny's last words were 'Stay gold, Ponyboy' referring to the 'Nothing Gold Can Stay' poem earlier in the book. Dally flees the hospital, purposely robs a store to get police on his trail. Once the police catch up to him, he lets them shoot him, where he dies. It was more like a suicide than homicide. As for the rumble earlier, the Greasers win.


Who played Johnny in 'The Outsiders'?

Johnny is Ponyboy's best friend. He is like a puppy being kicked around too much. He has that scared look in his dark eyes. He has long black hair. His mother ignores him, and his dad beats him up. Without the gang, Johnny will never know love. Hope In the movies, Johnny Cade was played by Ralph Macchio


Why is johnny cade called johnnycake?

More importantly, I think he was named Johnny Cade by the author to reference his Christ-like characteristics. Johnny Cade = Jesus Christ (JC). Johnny dies for others and with the hope that his death will bring light to others. Note how the book begins and ends, "When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness..." This indicates that Johnny's message has been successfully received by Pony and that Johnny did not die in vain. That his friends changed Johnny Cade into Johnnycake retains the JC symbolism and demonstrates camaraderie among the gang. Note, I think the author was inspired by John Steinbeck, specifically the character of Jim Casey (JC) in The Grapes of Wrath. But also how the image of the country in The Outsiders is similar to Lennie's dream of the farm in Of Mice & Men.

Who is the only Greaser in The Outsiders who doesn't like fights?

If you mean The Outsiders as in the book, that would be Ponyboy, who directly before the greasers vs. Socs fight thinks "I shouldn't be here. None of us should". However, it may also be Johnny, who when receiving the news of the Socs defeat, remarks "pointless... Nothing good... comes from fighting...."
