- Quite effeminate
- He can sing, cook and sew: he is very talented. It upsets him that Eddie seems to dislike him so much - he cannot understand why his 'feminine' skills are a problem for the 'manly' Eddie.
- His language is lively and imaginative, which shows his intelligence. For example, later in the play, he uses the image of Catherine as a bird in a cage.
- He has a good sense of humour, so he is popular.
- He is unvaryingly polite, even when Eddie is rude.
- He loves America and wants to find out as much about New York as possible - he is keen to see Broadway.

- Catalyst for Catherine's change from adolescence to adulthood
- Is somewhat protected by Beatrice and Catherine
- He is the younger brother of Marco.

- He does not see things in such black and white terms as Marco - he attempts to mediate between Marco and Eddie and is sensitive to both points of view.
- We realise that, in the end, he is more responsible than Marco.
