Julian this nice laid back college graduate. He went to school to become a writer, however at the moment he is unable to find any jobs that have to deal with writing so at the moment he is working a shop that sales typewriters. Julian at the beginning of the story is almost annoyed with is mother that he is being forced to go with her to her YMCA class to help her with losing weight, and that she can’t make up her mind on if she should wear her new hat or even keep it for that matter. Julian is also a loner he doesn’t like to be around or bothered with people “He visualized a place where the nearest neighbors would be three miles on either side” (PG1) throughout the whole story he seems to be in his own world.

Julian’s mother is portrayed as a typical lower class white woman of the 1960’s. She is descended from a rich and cultured slave owning family who used to live in a very large and luxurious mansion.
Julian believes he is "too intelligent for success." (281) Some might argue this means Julian believes himself to be so superior to others that he will be denied the chance to succeed. However, it could also be argued that although Julian seems to be full of himself, he has very low self-esteem. Why does this matter? Low self-esteem could explain much of his behavior, towards his mother and African-Americans. The "contempt and spite," Liz mentions does not mean Julian is a completely contemptible character, but that his self-esteem is so low he must demean others to feel important. Julian comes across as a rude, disrespectful, ungrateful son, all of this is true, but if Julian had higher self-worth he could be the educated, intelligent, clear
