Ponyboy Curtis is the protagonist of The Outsiders. He is also the novel’s narrator, which means that he shares his story of maturation from his own perspective.

 

 

Ponyboy Curtis

The novel’s fourteen-year-old narrator and protagonist, and the youngest of the greasers. Ponyboy’s literary interests and academic accomplishments set him apart from the rest of his gang. Because his parents have died in a car accident, Ponyboy lives with his brothers Darry and Sodapop. Darry repeatedly accuses Ponyboy of lacking common sense, but Ponyboy is a reliable and observant narrator. Throughout the novel, Ponyboy struggles with class division, violence, innocence, and familial love. He matures over the course of the novel, eventually realizing the importance of strength in the face of class bias.

 

Ponyboy’s struggle to reconcile his social class standing and gang membership with his individuality guides the entire novel. At the very beginning, Ponyboy describes how the Socs beat him up as he’s walking home from a movie, establishing the world in which he lives—a world where an innocent walk home is fraught with danger. However, Hinton does not depict Ponyboy as a tough street thug. Right before the Socs violent act, Ponyboy details his love for books and other artistic forms, and mentions how much he loves his brother Sodapop. Even when he participates in gang-related violence throughout the novel, Ponyboy is not merely a greaser, but an individual caught in the clash between the class divisions.

 

Throughout the novel, Ponyboy wrestles with his longing to be known for more than just “the amount of hair oil” he wears. After his first conversation with the sympathetic Cherry Valance, Ponyboy begins to learn that the Socs are also more than just their madras shirts and fancy cars, especially when he and Cherry realize that they enjoy watching the same sunsets and Cherry reminds Ponyboy that “things are rough all over.” Later, when he’s in the car with Randy, Ponyboy learns that “Socs [are] just guys after all” when Randy sobs about how the class divisions and recklessness ultimately killed his best friend Bob. Ponyboy wrestles with his loyalty to the greaser gang, and with the freedom he feels upon hiding out in Windrixville, a place where he is labeled a “hero” instead of a “hood,” and no one knows who the greasers are. After Johnny’s death, Ponyboy realizes that he needs to tell the stories of misunderstood, poor youths everywhere, those who look “at stars and [ache] for something better.” He decides to write about how his city’s social structure took the lives of Johnny, Dally, and Bob, and how it doesn’t always have to be this way.

 

 

  • Darrel Curtis

    Ponyboy’s oldest brother. Darrel, known as “Darry,” is a twenty-year-old greaser who is raising Ponyboy because their parents have died in a car crash. Strong, athletic, and intelligent, Darry has quit school. He works two jobs to hold the family together. The unofficial leader of the greasers, he becomes an authority figure for Ponyboy. He also makes good chocolate cake, which he and his brothers eat every day for breakfast. The other greasers call him “Superman.”

  • Sodapop Curtis

    Ponyboy’s happy-go-lucky, handsome brother. Sodapop is the middle Curtis boy. Ponyboy envies Sodapop’s good looks and charm. Sodapop plans to marry Sandy, a greaser girl.

Sodapop, sometimes called “Soda,” is the middle of the three Curtis brothers. He is energetic, disinterested in school, and movie-star handsome. Ponyboy describes his idolization of Sodapop from the very beginning, and says his brother “gets drunk on just plain living,” a quality he deeply admires. In contrast to his distant and tense relationship with Darry, Ponyboy’s relationship with Sodapop is one of admiration and intimacy. Both boys share a bed, and Sodapop serves as a symbolic security blanket for Ponyboy, especially since their parents’ deaths. 

Sodapop’s happy-go-lucky personality easily masks his inner turmoil. After finding out that Sodapop is upset because his letters to Sandy went unanswered, Ponyboy realizes that he “never had paid much attention to Soda’s problems.” At the end of the novel, Sodapop is the character who finally unites the Curtis family, after he breaks down in tears over his brothers’ constant fighting. He reminds Darry and Ponyboy that they “ought to be able to stick together against everything” since they’re all they have left family-wise. The brothers agree to stop fighting so that they can stay together. Because of Sodapop, Ponyboy is able to look more favorably upon Darry, and realize how much his oldest brother has sacrificed for their family.

Journal Question - After Ch. 1 & Ch. 2:

 

In the last few lines of Chapter Two, Ponyboy says, "I really couldn’t see what Socs would have to sweat about—good grades, good cars, good girls, madras and Mustangs and Corvairs—Man, I thought, if I had worries like that I’d consider myself lucky.  I know better now" (36). What do you think this means? What do you think may happen in the novel using this quote as a clue?
