Dad hurt him very much, but very depressed. Dad's love was unspoken. He hoped that the child would come out of sadness and reluctantly discarded his wife's relics. He wanted the child to grow up like other boys, to be mischievous and naughty. He saw March getting hurt again and again, and in the play, he saw Dad holding back several times, and in the end, he finally hugged March, so that March really felt his concern.
March was so innocent and so frank that the outside world was completely different from what he imagined. He needs friends, he needs approval, and he feels that to be submissive is to be accepted. Perry is his idol, who will laugh at him and protect him. Perry takes advantage of March's innocence and kindness to address his sexuality.
Perry liked him, he liked March's innocence. It can be seen in the play that Perry cares about March, and he will assist March. Several of his conversations with March were heartwarming. But he is a person who grew up in a different environment. He is the eldest brother among friends. He can feel Madge's pain, but he can't show his pity and feelings in front of his friends. Perry grew up under a violent father, who was often beaten after he made mistakes. Maybe so, he couldn't love March even more. Imagine his father knew the consequences of everything he did to March.
In the end, March bit off the head of the chicken and killed the most beloved rooster, expressing his determination, his despair for his friends, a pain that only Perry could feel except himself.
