You Can’t Take It with You Main Character Analysis

*Penelope Sycamore:* The daughter of Martin Vanderhof, mother of Essie and
Alice, and wife of Paul, Penelope is the fluttery, gentle lady of the
house. She decided to become a playwright when a typewriter was delivered
to their house by mistake. Since that time this accidental playwright has
spent much of her time writing works with titles such as Poison Gas.

*Essie:* The daughter of Penelope and Paul, granddaughter of Martin
Vanderhof, and wife of Ed, Essie is a pixie in toe shoes. At the age of
twenty-nine, she wants to be a dancer in the worst way--and, according to
any unbiased observer, that is exactly what she is. The eternal student,
she takes lessons from Boris Kolenkhov and is constantly dancing across the
living room.

*Rheba:* The maid in the Vanderhof household, she probably understands this
unusual family better than anyone.

*Paul Sycamore: *The husband of Penelope and father of Essie, Paul Sycamore
is in his mid-fifties, but with a kind of youthful air. His quiet charm and
mild manner are distinctly engaging. However, under that unassuming
exterior lies a man who lives for his fireworks--the ones he manufactures
in the cellar.

*Mr. De Pinna: *Years ago Mr. De Pinna was delivering ice to the Vanderhof
home--and just decided to stay. Now the mad genius of pyrotechnics helps
out Paul in the cellar.

*Ed: *The husband of Essie, Ed is a nondescript young man in his
mid-thirties. However, he has two passions: the printing press and the
xylophone.

*Donald: *Rheba’s boyfriend, Donald spends a lot of comfortable time at the
Vanderhof home.

*Martin Vanderhof: *The patriarchal head of the family, Grandpa Martin
Vanderhof is about seventy-five, a man whom the years have treated kindly.
He is a man who made his peace with the world long, long ago, and his whole
attitude and manner are quietly persuasive of this. He does, however, have
a long-standing “disagreement” with the Internal Revenue Service.

*Alice: *The daughter of Penelope and Paul and sister of Essie, Alice is a
lovely, fresh young girl of about twenty-two. Because she is a secretary in
a Wall Street office, she is in daily contact with the world and seems to
have escaped the tinge of mild insanity that pervades the rest of the
family; however, her familial devotion and love are readily apparent. In
the course of the play she is engaged to marry Tony Kirby, her boss’s son.

*Tony Kirby: *The boyfriend and later fiancé of Alice, Tony Kirby is a
personable young man not long out of Yale and Cambridge. Although he fits
all the physical requirements of a boss’s son, his face (and his spirit)
has something of the idealist in it, invoking in him a certain fondness for
the Vanderhofs’ quirkiness.

*Boris Kolenkhov: *Essie’s dance teacher, Boris Kolenkhov is a hearty,
explosive, Russian ballet-master.

*Mr. Kirby: *Tony’s father and Alice’s boss in the Wall Street office, Mr.
Kirby is a successful businessman who wants his son to follow in his
footsteps; thus, he is very disapproving of the Vanderhof family and of his
son’s engagement to Alice.

*Mrs. Kirby: *Tony’s mother, Mrs. Kirby is of the same mind and temperament
as her husband.
