Jace Wayland
Quote 7
"Only people with no purpose are unhappy. I've got a purpose." (10.260)
We wonder if Jace is trying to convince himself that he's happy here. After all, his purpose is little more than a supernatural assassin, which sounds like it might be more than stressful and less than fulfilling.

Quote 8
"I may not believe in sin," [Jace] said, "but I do feel guilt. We Shadowhunters live by a code, and that code isn't flexible: Honor, fault, penance, those are real to us, and they have nothing to do with religion and everything to do with who we are. This is who I am, Clary." (19.122)
Jace's job defines him. Talk about a workaholic.
