Antagonist

Character Role Analysis

Robbie Gould

The actual antagonist of this movie is uptight yuppie hypocrisy, but that infuriating superiority is personified in the form of walking dufflebag (we're keeping it PG) Robbie Gould. He reads Ayn Rand, believes some people count more than others, and accuses Penny of sleeping with every guy at Kellerman's even though he's done the deed with half of the female guests.

Dirty Dancing is set in 1963, but you can see Robbie becoming the sort of Michael Douglas Wall Street type by the time of the movie's release in 1987. This guy probably wrote "greed is good" in the margins of his Ayn Rand book.
