Big Daddy
Big Daddy is the center of attention in the Pollitt family, not only because he holds the position of patriarch but because he is dying of cancer and his property is up for grabs. Big Daddy has risen from the position of plantation overseer to the owner of the plantation. He does not know that he has cancer, he instead thinks he has a spastic colon, “made spastic by disgust” by “all the lies and liars . . . and hypocrisy” that surround him.
Maggie the Cat
Maggie is a pretty southern woman who comes from a humble family and sees a slim but promising hope of getting “something out of what Big Daddy leaves.” She has a melodic southern drawl and an indulgent easy tolerance of her husband Brick’s alcoholic distance. It is quite clear which holds the most importance to her between her love for Brick and her desire for a healthy portion of the Pollitt estate: she prefers the money, although she hungers for her husband’s attentions as well.
Brick
Brick has made a virtue of indifference, first as a football star admired from afar by family and friends, then as a dreamy alcoholic, hiding the truth of his complicity in his best friend’s death behind a mask of indifference. Brick punishes himself and his wife, Maggie, whom he would rather have take the blame for Skipper’s descent into drugs and alcohol. Brick imposes two punishments on himself and on his wife. One is drinking until he feels the “click” releasing him into the welcome oblivion of intoxication; he uses alcohol as a means of escape. The other is sexual abstinence.
