Martin Judd 48 years of age is Husband to Sarah Judd and father of Angela Judd. Throughout the book the character Martin is constructed to be sarcastic, dramatic, sensitive and wimpy.
From my findings, Martin is someone who lives in the moment. He is also constructed to be quite ‘old school’. For example Martin’s wife Sarah wishes he would admit to his father he had the courage to seek help. He replies with “I don’t want to talk about it”.
Martin obviously doesn’t want Sarah’s father to know, because he fears he may get judged for asking for help, because a man is meant to be strong and soldier through difficult times, it is considered unmanly to seek help.
This is where Martin’s values and attitudes start to show through. Other traits such as stubbornness and sensitivity also show through clearly. When Martin and Sarah have a disagreement about how “men need women but women don’t need men”, he reacts with “excuse me while I slip out and kill myself”. In this situation Martin didn’t stand up for himself.
This reaction is also quite dramatic, displaying his high sarcasm and sensitivity. Martin is being constructed as a wimp; he doesn’t stand up for himself and takes things very personally. Martin is characterized as a wimp, old school, sarcastic, dramatic, and lacks with self-respect.
- think he's a wimp
-others say he's a wimp believes that men should be strong
-(excuse me while i slip out and kill myself) -sarcastic -dramatic
-(no im a certified wimp) P7 -
