Charlie’s Dad
A football star at Penn State, Charlie’s brother is the stereotypical example of traditional masculinity: he is aggressive, athletic, homophobic, and only dates “hot” girls. Truly his father’s son, Charlie’s brother demonstrates care by gifting sports memorabilia and promising to pay for Charlie’s college if he gets drafted to a professional team. During one of their rare bonding moments, Charlie’s brother taught him how to fight, which comes in handy when Charlie is attacked by a bully, and later when he has to defend Patrick. As a character, Charlie’s brother provides a stark contrast to sensitive, introspective Charlie.

Quotes
Sometimes, I look at my parents now and wonder what happened to make them the way they are. And I wonder what will happen to my sister when her boyfriend graduates from law school. And what my brother’s face will look like on a football card, or what it will look like if it is never on a football card. My dad played college baseball for two years, but he had to stop when Mom got pregnant with my brother. That’s when he started working at the office.
