In "The Outsiders," Johnny Cade is considered a hoodlum primarily due to his association with the Greasers, a group of working-class teenagers perceived as delinquents. He has a troubled background, marked by abuse at home and a history of violence, which contributes to his tough exterior. Despite this, Johnny exhibits deep sensitivity and vulnerability, particularly after a traumatic incident where he kills Bob to save Ponyboy, highlighting the complexities of his character beyond the hoodlum stereotype.
