 Louis is almost the antithesis of Roy Cohn.  Louis always seems confused about what he wants, Roy knows without a doubt.  Louis searches for a way to forget about his pain, Roy accepts pain and says that "life is pain".  Louis is afraid, Roy says the Devil should be afraid of him.  However, we must question Louis' moral character, just as we do Roy's, because Louis abandon's his loved ones in the greatest times of need - the difference between Roy and Louis' lack of morals is that Louis always let them get the better of him.
-As the play progresses, we see Louis continuing to run from his problems. Sometimes all it takes to realize what you have done wrong is a good ole fashion butt whoopin.  Joe is the one who gives it to Louis, and it opened his eyes to what he has been doing as being wrong.
+As the play progresses, we see Louis continuing to run from his problems. That is another way that Roy and Louis differ.  Sometimes all it takes to realize what you have done wrong is a good ole fashion butt whoopin.  Joe is the one who gives it to both Louis and Roy.  In both instences, both of the beatees get their eyes opened up to what they were actually doing was wrong.  Louis realized that he shouldnt leave someone he loves in a time of trouble and Roy realizes that trying to control every aspect of other peoples lives can be more hazardous to his health than "liver cancer".
