Although not stated explicitly, it is evident that Jonah hated the people of Nineveh and did not want them to repent and be spared that judgment of God on their wicked acts.
See Jonah 3:10 through 4:3. First, Johah did not hate the people of Nineveh. He explains in Chapter 4 verse 2 how he understood God, "And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil." In other words, Jonah knew that he would tell the people to repent, and if they did God would be gracious to them and change his mind about judging them. The reason for God's jugement can be found in the very last chapter and last verse. "And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscorethousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?" Basically, the city of Nineveh could no longer tell the good from the bad. As a prophet of God he ran rather to speak for God and God have mercy and change his mind and he look like a prophet who does not hear from God. I think a pride issue not a hate issue.
