Benjamin’s identity comes from something intrinsic within him throughout the story, and even though he deals with society’s judgement and ridicule he still walks with his natural personality. “Benjamin increased his gait, and soon he was running. He would show them! He would go to Harvard, and then they would regret these ill-considered taunts... It was the biggest mistake Yale College had ever made.” Benjamin’s identity is defined by other characters around him, including his father who at one point forces Benjamin to wear a suit to which he refuses.

Without scary outlook, he has to study very hard to get what he wants. On the contrary, Sullivan is the one with terrifying stature covered by gorgeous long hair.

These two kinds of people always despise each other on campus, but sometimes they also envy each other.
However, this backfires on him and ironically he is the one that ends up being the least masculine. Eddie’s masculinity is presented by Miller throughout the whole play. At the beginning of the play, Eddie’s loyalty is revealed when he is telling Catherine that she can’t tell anybody about the illegal immigrants and that “it never comes out of your mouth who they are or what they’re doing here”.

Peter shows how he hates work, so the key to his happiness is just not going. Although he Peter was all for his own happiness, Milton began to think in a similar further into the film.

He tells Grace that God is ignoring him, that God is like a mean kid holding a magnifying glass over an ant, burning off his tentacles and laughing.
He lacks education but is perceptive, additionally a good business man. He is hard working, very committed to his business and easy going. He gets on well with kids in the neighbourhood, such as Bert, who visits Joe and plays “jail” with. As the play progresses, Joe Keller's character is seen a mass of contradictions to the audience. He is thoughtful one moment and conniving the next; he's willing to sacrifice for his family, but he's also willing sacrifice someone else's family for the benefit of his own, and he is unwilling to take responsibility for his own actions.
