Virgins character map

I want present to you the result of our group work. The person I want to talk about is Jack. First of all I want to talk about the looking of the character, then I will move on to his acting and finally I will explain you the relationship to the other characters. In the story you don’t get any idea of the appearance of Jack. That’s why my group had to imagine him. I think he looks like a skater. That means, he wears baggy pants, a medium-sized t-shirt with a brand name on it and he wears Globe skater shoes. I also think that he has medium length brown hair and he is a very sporty person. We chose this, because we think nearly every teenager looks like a skater nowadays.
Now I will continue with his behaviour.
In our opinion he acts like a pubertal teenager that means he doesn’t want to listen to his parents and wants to go to as many parties as possible. He is ashamed of the STD, because he had sex for the first time with the one girl he loves and she might got a STD too. We think he is very sarcastic because his father tells him all his faults and he answers like “Oh Really!”, but that’s not the worst he yells a lot and has problems with his anger. To the end of the story he accepts what he has done and blames Ben for all his faults.
My last point is the relationship to the other characters in the play. The first relationship I want to talk about is Jack’s and Nick’s. Well this relationship is very complicated, because Nick and Jack don’t really understand each other. Jack thinks that his dad should understand him, because he was a teenager once, too.
The next relationship is about Jack and Suzy. I think this relationship is very solid because Suzy always protects him and helps him if he has a fight with his dad and I think he really appreciates it, because he is not able to stand up against his father alone. The relationship between Jack and Zoe is very strong, because they tell each other secrets and talk about serious topics like sex.
