Character Role Analysis

J.D. and Darryl Dickinson

Darryl is a whiny, selfish, child of a husband who always puts himself first and treats Thelma like an incompetent piece of property. J. D., though more selfish than he appears at first, is made out to be the ultimate lover. J. D. is sexy, sweet, charming, and totally taken with Thelma. He's quick to tell her she deserves more in a partner than what she's had. Also, unlike Darryl, he shows her a pretty good time in the sack.
