He loves Big Daddy and to tell him the news while he is on his death time would leave Brick to the thought of Big Daddy dying in disappointment through his son. Denial through himself is the hardest fight to win, and Brick is losing. He denies himself for the sake of others trying to please everyone around him instead of taking it and making himself happy. He does not want to feel the disappointment through his family, and he does not want to break Maggie 's heart. All the denial makes life harder than what it should be, and makes one and more people unhappy.

His father wanted David to be a man, and while David is appalled by the idea he also would strive for the rest of his life to meet his father’s ideals, whether or not David realized it. In the first chapter David states that his father believes they were like buddies and goes on to say, “I think my father sometimes actually believed this. I never did.

Anse believes that he has full control over his children, and therefore, treats his children callously and demandingly. In return, his children do not think too highly of him, regarding him with hatred or disrespect.
