That he is repeatedly willing to hurt someone who has only ever helped him shows readers that he will never change.
Indeed, you find in this statement all the different elements which were contained in the question:
- the main inclination towards violence is conveyed by "looks to harm" in the question and "is ... willing to hurt someone" in the last answer-statement;
- the victim is both times depicted as being someone who is supposed to be a friend rather than an enemy: "his wife" and "someone who has only ever helped him;"
- the idea of recidivism is expressed by "three times" in the question and mentioned in the statement through the word "repeatedly;"
- the pessimistic tone of the question, created by the phrase "some people cannot be helped," applies to the merchant's son who we are told "will never change."
