Choose one character in the play and describe how he/she changes throughout the play.

Chris is described by other characters as an idealist, although we do not see this trait in action aside from his angry response to the wartime profiteering. Yet the others define him by his idealism, setting him apart as a man of scruples. In the end, Chris decides that he must abandon these scruples to the cause of practicality when he is faced with the prospect of sending his father to jail.
