Agree with you, this is a part of his character. Even if it portrays him negatively. Anyways as normal human beings, as we read the story we start associating ourselves with the characters. It might be disheartening for some to find flaws in Ron's character.Marty_Kelly wrote: ↑04 Nov 2020, 05:58 I think the many relationships, in a way, contributes to Ron's character because all those relationships were initiated by the ladies. This reflects to some extent his lack of control/direction/focus in many aspects of his life.

That is true. Finding the love of your life or the perfect partner is just rare and a bit unrealistic. As in many things, in relationships also you can have trials. and errors. That is what Ron undergoes in his life with his multiple relationships and from each of them he gains different sort of experiences to his life

That's right. He was also in different settings and situations when he had those relationships, so it doesn't really revolve around that. I don't know what about the higher-than-usual number of relationships in a story got these people upset.Sushan wrote: ↑30 Nov 2020, 10:58Maybe that was coincidence, maybe not. Anyway he went from one relationship to another. The moral value of what he did is questionable. Yet it was an aspect that the author used for character developmentlavkathleen wrote: ↑03 Nov 2020, 03:19I agree with this, but I don't think he went into those relationships to "bring out the best in him", though. I think it was only coincidence that he met those women and eventually got attracted to them—that's all it is. I understand that you enjoyed the book less, though. The author needs to resort to something else to make the character more interesting.maiiii_maii wrote: ↑02 Nov 2020, 20:59 I don't think one needs multiple relationships in order to bring out the best in him.

So poor Ron is used to jumping from one foster home to another. As a result, he grew up and started jumping from one lady to another.lavkathleen wrote: ↑10 Nov 2020, 01:50I think it says a lot about how his personality developed as someone who jumped from one foster home to another, again and again. People take advantage of perks of adopting foster children, which leads to the kids not receiving the attention and affection that they need while growing up.raj_nandani_poet wrote: ↑07 Nov 2020, 11:44 I agree with you. There is no need to include multiple relationships to prove the point. Other aspects of life or other incidents could have been used to depict his characteristics. But if there is any other reason that any one of you think I might've missed for his multiple relationships, I want to know that.
However, there is something good about his multiple relationships. Ron learns something from every woman. Thanks to Regina, he learns a lot about science, thanks to Cheryl, he learns a lot about nature, and thanks to Sheila, he learns a lot about money.

So, I must say I liked it that he had multiple relationships as I followed them up each time scenes of that theme popped up, I couldn't mind tuning the pages.
