Best of all Jonah builds himself a comfortable place to view the destruction from. God makes one finial attempt to teach Jonah about His love and gives him a gourd vine to increase his comfort and predictably Jonah loves it because it makes him more comfortable. God takes it away and Jonah says in effect if you are going to make me uncomfortable just kill me. The people of Nineveh in their abysmal ignorance understood God better than Jonah because when they heard God was angry enough to kill them they also worked out the unspoken corollary: God loves you enough he is giving you time to repent.
