The Good Soldier

In my opinion no one in The Good Soldier is actually good. Dowell is easily decieved and never actually see's what people are really like. Edward who in Dowell's opinion is the good soldier is not the good soldier, he is only focused on himself and is constantly cheating on his wife. Florence has decieved her husband for their entire marraige and has not been faithful to him. Leonora who is faithful, is aware of her husbands affairs and only cares about keeping up appearences and controling everything in their lives to the point she begins to go mad. All the characters in Ford's book have very serious character flaws and none of them could be considered good.
