One aspect of “The Lame Shall Enter First” that really stood out to me was the inclusion of Johnson’s club foot. Though I didn’t realize it initially, I think the club foot tells a great deal about Johnson, Sheppard, and the relationship between the two. While Johnson is quite proud of his club foot and makes no attempts to conceal / fix it, Sheppard does a great deal in an attempt to successfully conceal the deformity and pretend like it doesn’t exist. While Sheppard thinks Johnson will be grateful to Sheppard for his efforts to get him a new boot, Johnson is angry at the attempt. I think this interaction reveals Sheppard’s intention of “fixing” Johnson in the way that he sees fit  to make himself feel good, with no regard for how Johnson feels or what Johnson wants for himself.
