So while he did flee from his task of preaching on Nineveh he was still a quality person who did not want others punished for his lapse in judgment.

But it shows how we all have to be alert not to heed mortal minds suggestions. He probably heard one of those negatives that comes to dissuade us from doing God's will; like when we know we must forgive and that relentless voice keeps emphasizing and attaching the wrong done to person or place. This makes it difficult to see through the mist of materiality and therefore difficult forgive. Jonah couldn't see past material sinful men in Nineveh who deserved to be punished.
