Character Role Analysis

Paulie

Good fighters have a good team in their corner. Rocky's emotional corner is filled with Paulie and his sister, Adrian. Poor Paulie is doomed to forever be in Rocky's shadow, and he has issues that he will have to deal with.

But he helps Rocky the best he can—lending him a freezer full of meat for punching and for eating is invaluable assistance. He hopes Rocky will do the same and return the favor. And knowing what a sweetie-pie Rocky is, we have no doubt this will be true.
