Jim Casy character profile

Age: 35
eye colour: brown
Hair colour: brown
profession: ex-preacher

Beliefs: Casey who was once an evangelical preacher has questioned his belief in god and instead believes in humanity and thinks that what's holy is men and women working together to achieve one ideal and not relying on "god" or "Jesus" to make a miracle happen!

Family: Father- Deceased, Mother- Deceased, Brother and sister- both Deceased

Characteristics: Casey is a very independent character both in his beliefs and socially. His only real companion throughout the play is Tom who he develops a very close and unique friendship with tom that is very different from that of most characters in the play, Casey becomes Tom's mentor as the play progresses with tom acting as his protégé until Casey's death at the end when tom takes over and continues to spread Casey's Ideologies and beliefs. Casey is a listener, he hears everything that is said around him and is a very good observer of others, Casey understands people and behaviour and will take in everything that he hears. Casey only speaks when he feels he completely understands something, this is why when he speaks he generally has a lot to say and what he does say always seems necessary; Casey speaks when something needs to be said!

Hobbies: Casey plays the harmonica throughout the play, it  seems to be his way of relaxing and thinking, it also shows Casey as being a creative individual which is reflected through his music just as it is through his "sinful idears." Casey is a big drinker and always has a hip flask with him, he uses it as a way of escape and as a way of self therapy throughout the play! On the flip side Casey also drinks as a way of helping him to socialise with others as he is a very solitary person, not in a timid way, he just like's his own company alot of the time.
