Cat on a hot tin roof (brick)
In Tennessee William's play, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," the character that appealed to me the most is Brick. Brick seemed to be the center of attention throughout the play. I feel that the there were three main things that Brick was known for. He is the one that everybody loves, and everyone favors. He is often portrayed as a Greek god because of his god looks and his athletic figure. And his problem with alcohol also played a big factor in his character. In the play everyone loves Brick. Big Mama and Big Daddy treat him as the favorite son. We see their favoritism towards Brick a lot throughout the play. With such lines as, " I want Brick! Where's Brick? Where's my only son?" (106). Big Mama says this after she finds out that Big Daddy is actually dying. This scene shows how much Big Mama favors Brick because she has another son and she says that Brick is h
er only son. Big Mama is not the only who favors Brick in the story. Big Daddy also favors Brick. In the talk that Big Daddy and Brick had together, Big Daddy stated that if he were going to die, he would have given everything to Brick. This shows that Big Mama and Big Daddy favor Brick over their oldest son (Gooper). Brick was portrayed as the ultimate man throughout the play. He was an athlete, and he had a professional football career ahead of him. He was also a very attractive man. "I can't see a man but you! Even with my eyes closed, I just see you! Why don't you get ugly, Brick, why don't you please get fat or ugly or something so I can please stand it?" (31). This line that Margaret says shows how attracted she is to Brick and how good-looking he is. Brick was portrayed as a Greek god in the play, so you get the idea that he is the ultimate women's man.
