Ajeet Character Analysis in Room

Ajeet is the first person Jack sees when he enters the “real” world. Ajeet is walking his dog Raja when he notices Jack jump from Old Nick’s truck. When Old Nick attempts to pick the screaming Jack up and take him back to the truck, Ajeet begins calling the police and shouting that he has Old Nick’s plates—as a result, Old Nick drops Jack, gets into his car, and speeds away. Ajeet is kind and responsible, and a huge part of the reason Ma and Jack are able to pull off their escape plan.
