Gerald Croft

• Well-bred


  Illustrating that J has undergone vigorous and thorough training to live up to this Persona of being a Lord and Lady's son
• About town


  Suggested that his charismatic and Superior nature is well known
• he is defined by his social standing from the officer because he is described as a well-bred man about town again that about town signifying he is well known and what is he well known for his Charisma his superiority as being a Lord and Lady's son
• Indoctrinated


  Brainwashed by capitalist ideologies
• Gerald has become a product of his environment he has become a victim of his environment he has not chosen to have these capitalist ideologies but he's been brainwash to act a certain way to be a certain way in society he has been bred intentionally and thoroughly bred to be this person
• Well-bred


  • Creates quite an animalistic image showing that almost a like to a horse Gerald has been bred with a purpose and has almost been bred to perform he's been almost bred to perform and live up to this Persona that his parents have ascribed him from a young age
• this shows that he is entirely defined by his social status and he cannot escape the expectations placed upon him therefore he is a victim to this intentionally bred setting and upbringing
• Gerald is Young right just like Sheila and Eric J Gerald is young but what is the difference with the character of Gerald what does Sheila and Eric do that Gerald doesn't he doesn't change and why could that be significant
• Gerald is part of the younger generation just like Sheila and Eric but the difference with Gerald from Sheila and Eric is he is of a higher class than them so he doesn't easily change his views because he has more to lose he is so deep deeply entrenched in these systems he cannot come out of this Society if he breaks free and has this socialist perception he loses his whole life he loses everybody around him because this structure has been so carefully crafted it is perfect to Foster the environment for someone like Gerald if he's to break that he loses everything
• this actually reinforces his victimhood because he is not able to progress just like Sheila and Eric do he actually regresses go backwards because he actually has as part of the younger generation an opportunity for growth yet he can't fulfill that because he is so bound to the expectations placed upon him from the upper class
• Gerald doesn't progress as he is not liberated by socialism in the same way Sheila and Eric are his stance doesn't change and therefore his character could be seen as stagnant yet as he belongs to the younger generation his capacity for for change is greater than the old generation and He Still Remains entrenched in his views this reinforces his victimhood as he is the only member of the younger generation not to progress but in fact regress
