JR trying to live up to Jock's expectations and Sue Ellen being moulded by Patricia. Neither of them were free for a long time to be who they actually were. And although Sue Ellen did break free from Patricia to be herself, and in some ways broke free of worrying about what JR thought, JR was never really able to release the ghost of Jock and the need he had to please him, even after Jock died and for many years afterwards. So in many ways they were alike, but Sue Ellen emerged stronger because unlike JR, she learned to deal with her ghosts.</p></blockquote><p></p>
