Marlon Brando as Terry Malloy conveys the tension and perplexity of an incoherent speaker attempting to frame his own particular personality in recognizable yet recently debilitating environment. He endeavors to be a person with solid standards, and his developments uncover his battle. He bites gum expressively, shrugs, falls behind, pulls his neckline up, and stuffs his hands in his pockets.
