Who is Red John?

Theories of REDJOHNISJUSTASMILE (1)

I hate this episode not because who Red John is but how they displayed him/her.  I can't lie but I did like the ending, how it showed how he/she is a real person, how Red John may be a serial killer but he still processes emotions and is scared of death himself.  The 911 call proved that. The part of trying to give up who ever gave him the names on the list "still believe it was Van Pelt". Watching Jane choke Red John and seeing the intensity in doing what he has thought of for 10 years.  Also the part where Jane starts to runaway after killing Red John and how it displays what he didn't get to experience in losing his family.  He'll never get those walks with his daughter and wife.  Grow old with his wife.  And bring his daughter to the park. I hated this episode but I'm trying my best to understand where Heller went with this.  It displayed real life, it isn't about the holes or the reason why Red John has done.  It's about a man who wanted vengence for his wife and daughter or revenge just for himself.  I enjoyed the part of how Jane processed through the years of Red John, the unvieling is really a small part of the show.  The Mentalist Red John isn't about who it is and his reasoning.  It's about a men who needed to find peace in his life and showing us the steps he makes to relieve himself of the stress of his loss. I hope to see Jane mature and become a happier person.
