Louis Ironson: Difference between revisions

m (editing)
Line 15: Line 15:


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.
