Describe Mooch’s character

There are multiple examples within the play that shows the character of Mooch. It is distinct from the story that he is a complex character. Early in the story we learn that Mooch is a thief and dishonest Mooch shows this when he says “I’m not stealing June’s money” everyone knows he is, and he promised June that he would not steal her money anymore. June does nothing but provide for her and him, but he just takes her money and spends it all in the bar with Floyd. However, mooch is benevolent, you see this when Floyd is asking where mooch put him when he was drunk. “I put you out back in between those two garbage bins so you were covered and would not get rolled” Floyd was passed out and mooch was looking out for him and did not want him to get rained on or robbed from so he just put him out back. Mooch just wanted to protect him because he worries about his friend and loves him. Finally Mooch is a jealous person. For example, mooch comes out of the bathroom and sees Floyd hugging June. You see his jealousy when he says, “so you are taking my girlfriend away from me now?” he did not want to know what was going on and he just assumed that June was cheating on him which led up to the fight mooch and Floyd had because he was jealous. Mooch let his jealousy get the best of him. To conclude it shows that mooch has both negative and positive attributes to his character.
