Darry Curtis

Personality:   Darry is, in short, a mother and father for his younger brothers. He loves them dearly, though he has a bit of a weird way of showing it. Instead of being caring and understanding, he is stern and protective of them. However, this is only because he doesn't want to lose them to a boy's home. He also is a big impact on the brothers. He doesn't goof around often, though has been seen teasing Soda on occasion - he doesn't like when anyone teases him, except for Soda - Pony says he'd just as soon tease a grizzly bear. Ponyboy describes him as a young man who grew up too fast and as someone handling things no one his age should have to. Darry is very intelligent and athletic. He wants Ponyboy to grow up well and go to college since that is an opportunity he and Soda, the middle brother, missed out on. He wishes that he could go back to college but won't because of financial problems and because he won't leave his younger brothers. After the show in 2009, he died from cancer. He always lived in the gang’s house. He had one kid and got married when Sodapop moved out in 1965 and Ponyboy moved out in 1967. His best friend was a guy from his roofing job that didn’t want to be in a gang but him and Darry knew each other since they were in pre-k. Darry says his favorite gang member is Johnny Cade, however, he values his brother a lot.
