proprietor

The proprietor is a horrible person, all he cares about is making money, this is shown by the way he speaks to Pa, the propietor wants the family to pay an extra 50 cents so that four me people can stay, it would not make any diffrence to him if the Tom pa and uncle john srtay with the rest of the family, if they stay in the same area and dont have more food it would not make any diffrence to him if they stay or not and i think he knows this but wants the money anyway. The proprietor is a very strong character this is shown by how he stands up to Tom when he asks about the deputy sheriff, the proprietor almost snaps when he says ' No he aint, and the time aint come when us local folks got to take no talk from you goddamn bums neither.' this shows that he is quick to react and that he is very proud of if state and town and he doesnt like people coming into his area and making trouble, he also snaps at 'the man going back' because he starts to talk to the joans about how there is nothing waiting for them, i think this is because the proprietor is worried that the joads will turn around and leave and he will loose 50 cents, he tries to undermind the man going back by calling him a 'labour faker'. i dont yet know if i want to base the propietor on any character from other plays or if i want to make him my own and play him how ever i feel is right.
