There are many examples within the literature that illustrate the character of Mooch. Clearly, Mooch is a person that possesses both positive and negative traits to his persona. To begin, Mooch is understanding. Mooch defends the aggressive actions that his wife, June, had done to him because June was “extra sensitive due to her menapause”. Although it would have been unsurprising for Mooch to be upset at his wife’s actions, Mooch chooses to sympathize with his wife’s behaviour towards him instead. To continue, Mooch is a caring character. When Mooch’s friend, Floyd, was “passed out at the bar”, Mooch placed Floyd in between garbage bins. It may seem as though this was not the greatest idea, but Mooch’s intentions were to hide his unconscious friend to prevent Floyd from getting robbed. However, Mooch irresponsibly spends money. When Mooch ends up spending all of June’s “grocery money on another drink”, it provides insight in Mooch’s drinking problem. Mooch not only spends his money on getting drinks and pull-tabs, but he also steals June’s grocery money that she had been consistently saving up. It is evident, from the examples provided above, that Mooch is a complex person.
