JIMMY PORTER:
- about 25 years old
- graduate from red-brick university
- sweet stall owner
- tall,thin, wearing tweed jacket and flannel's ŕ middle class
- working class speach
- incites pity when he describes his father's death

Jimmy is a young man of the working class who is at war with himself and society. He is highly intelligent non-achiever who sells sweets on a stall in a local market. He feels that no one wants what he has got to offer.
There is a boiling resentment inside of him. However, all his bitterness, hysteria and cruelty seem to be only cry for recognition. He makes the lives of those he cherishes impossible.
Jimmy ridicules many aspects of British society, such as the upper class behaviour, the church, the bishops and the American age.
Jimmy’s anger is linked to his own past, 12 months when he was watching his father dying. He was only a small, frightened boy at the age of 10 who spent hours in the tiny bedroom at the beside of his dying father. The death of his father had a very strong impact on him. He felt the bitterness and learnt about helplessness, loss and betrayal.
Jimmy torments Allison because he can not forgive that she comes from upper-middle class and he from lower-middle class. He is verbally attacking his wife and he is trying to get her down on her knees, but she is unable to express her emotions. By attacking her Jimmy destroys what he actually treasures and Allison leaves him. He immediately starts life with Helena. His life with Helena brings up the same pattern.
ALISON PORTER:
- about 25 years old
- housewife
- tall,slim,dark; face long and delicate
- wearing expensive skirt ŕ indicates her wealthy family ; Jimmy's shirt ŕ dependence on him,break away from her family
- generally polite
- self controled
- willing to help (Jimmy& Cliff)
- she feels she can not trust Himmy
- doesn't communicate directly ŕ not to hurt other people's feelings
- doesn't defend on herself from Jimmy's attacks
- in the end of the book she breaks down ŕ she suffered a lot by being away from Jimmy and losing their child
- reserved,quiet,not used to express emotions
Allison is Jimmy’s very patient wife who completely humiliates herself as she was piece of garbage. She comes from upper-middle class. Like many people from British upper class, Allison is not used to expressing emotions and she is extremely reserved.
The painful experience of the miscarriage makes her understand what suffering means and gives her time to think about her relationship with Jimmy.
CLIFF LEWIS:
- about 25 years old
- self taught
- helps Jimmy on the market stall
- short,dark,big-boned

- he hates Helena (might be based on isues of solid class)
- underlines one of the important themes in play- enourmous gap between working class and midlle –class ways of behaviour
- talkative- prefers to be a good listener
- considerate to Alison, he advises her about relationship with Jimmy
Cliff is simple and kind person. He is Allison’s real friend who is trying to protect her from Jimmy’s anger. Through his kindness he supports Allison in the worst moments. He describes himself as “No man’s – land” between Jimmy and Allison.
Cliff works with Jimmy on the sweet stall. He is “an uneducated peasant” (peznt) according to Jimmy’s description. He is helpless against Jimmy’s rhetorical fury.
HELENA CHARLES:

- less infatuated and can therefore behave more detachledy
Helena is Allison’s friend, a very proper middle-class woman. She is an actress who comes to stay with the Porters while she performs in a play at the local theatre. Jimmy has long despised her, as he considers her a member of a Establishment.
Helena has sent a telegram to Allison’s father asking him to take Allison home. It seemed that she was worried about Allison, but that wasn’t true, because when Allison left, she seduces Jimmy. When Allison, having lost her baby, returns to the flat, Helena realizes that her affair with Jimmy was wrong and she leaves.
