Jackson), an advanced comic book art dealership who was born with Type 1 Osteogenesis Imperfecta, causing him to be supremely vulnerable to injuries with frail bones, making him the moniker, "Mr. Glass".
Character Development and InteractionPrice thinks that Dunn's survival is not a mere mishap but proof of his superhuman strength and invulnerability. He considers Dunn his polar opposite and assumes that if he represents human frailty's severe end, there must exist someone with remarkable strength at the other end of the spectrum-- represented by Dunn. David is skeptic of Elijah's theory in the beginning. Nonetheless, with the insistence of Mr. Glass and some evaluated tasks of strength, Dunn slowly senses the reality in the possibility of his improved abilities, which includes a remarkable feeling signaling impending danger or the existence of wicked deeds.
Symbolic EndingThe film's climax sees an intense interaction in between Dunn and a violent intruder, which validates Price's theory of his superhuman abilities. Dunn begins to embrace his 'present' and decides to use it for great, becoming a strange crime deterrent. The final stage of the film uncovers a surprising discovery: that Mr. Glass, in his unrelenting pursuit to show his theory and discover his opposite, had orchestrated the different disasters, including the train crash, which killed numerous innocents.
