Darry is a young man who doesn't fit his environment. He
is smart, studious, clean-cut, responsible, and ambitious. Unfortunately, due to the
unfortunate circumstances of his parents' fatal car accident, Darry is stuck on the East
side of town working a blue collar job to support his younger
brothers.
Darry's life is full of stresses. He loves and
cares deeply about his brothers; his greatest fear is losing another one of his loved
ones. Because of this he is especially strict with his youngest brother, Ponyboy. Darry
is constantly frustrated with Ponyboy due to Pony's lack of common sense, which often
puts him in dangerous predicaments. Darry scolds Ponyboy for these lapses of judgement
out of love, but Ponyboy views these actions as hateful outbursts. This causes tension
in their house and an added burden to Darry who is already tired and
overworked.
Darry's life is one ruined by circumstances.
He has the potential for greatness, but chooses to sacrifice his own dreams for his
brothers' well-being. He often comes off as boring and mean, but the reality is he has
a tremendous amount of love and dedication for his family. What kind of person is
Darry? He is a model family man.
