Antagonist

Character Role Analysis

Bob Harris

Bob's biggest problem is Bob. His acting career is stagnant; he's making a quick buck shooting Japanese whisky ads and probably hating himself for it.

Okay, so he's making a quick two million bucks, but you get our point. He’s getting in his own way. He grouses about how he should be doing a play somewhere instead of pitching foreign booze, but he doesn't do anything about it. When Lydia gives it to him, he just takes it. In a moment of drunken weakness, he cheats on his wife and tarnishes his friendship with Charlotte.

What we're saying is, Bob can be a pretty weak and self-pitying guy at times.
