It could be possible to be sympathetic towards Rex, if you ignore every other thing he does. He was a confused wandering soul. He pimped out his own daughter.  One quote that I could scavage that could redeem Rex is when he said on page 265: “..."Dad," I said. "you guys need this money more than I do." "It's yours," Dad said. "Since when is it wrong for a father to take care of his little girl?" This quote really encapsulates how much he cares for his children.  This is an example of the unconditional love theme.

Maureen was a troubled child. She was the youngest out of the Walls bunch. She got incarcerated for stabbing her own mother. Jeanette did not take that piece of information too fondly, she says: "I'd always had mixed feelings about bringing her to New York, but I'd agreed to let her come. Once she arrived, I'd been too busy taking care of myself to look after her. "I'm sorry, Maureen," I said when the time came. "sorry for everything." This is a great example of the disappointment theme in The Glass Castle. Jeanette was sad and disappointed that she let Maureen slip out of her fingers.

Jeanette mostly had no one to talk to in school except for her siblings. At one point, she locked herself in the girl's bathroom stalls. Jeanette would not go out and socialize with other people at that point in her life. She wouldn't even bring her own lunch to eat at school, she couldn't, she was too poor. She ate scraps from the trash bin that other children would wastefully throw away. In The Glass Castle, here's what Jeanette had to say: "When other girls came in and threw away their lunch bags in the garbage pails, I'd go retrieve them." (p. 173). This further ratifies her desolation, it also ratifies the theme of isolation. At the end of the day, she knew she was fine because she still had her family.

Rose Walls is an interesting character but very misunderstood. She could get a job teaching at McDowell in a heartbeat and get a reasonable income but she just decides to stay at home and not have a profession. Furthermore, she has an even higher chance of landing the job due to the tea  Instead she “prefers” living statically. She does not wish to go on welfare. In fact, the reason why she's so opposed to welfare is that "they can do good on their own and they don't need any sort of charitable help from the government": "Fine," I said. "If we're not a charity case, then get a job." (p. 188). This is a great example of obstination. .Rose Walls then proceeds to say that the idea would result in an "awful life".

Jeannette and her father Rex Walls always had a rocky relationship. Rex at one point in the story pimped out Jeannette for $80, he was addicted to his alcohol and cigarettes. Rex always had his drunken fits. Regardless of all of that, Jeannette still holds strong regard for her father.

"But you always loved your old man, didn't you?"

"I did, Dad," I said. "And you always loved me." (p. 279).
Jeannette always knew that deep down Rex loved her too. In his own strange way, the theme of undying love is present here.

Rose Mary is beyond twisted in the head according to The Glass Castle. She even finds that Hitler was just misunderstood, she goes on to say that even Hitler had redeeming qualities, "he liked dogs". One instance of the story shows her truest colors. "Well, there you go," She said. "If you don't think you're hurt, then you aren't." (p. 184). She said this after Jeannette's Uncle Stanley touched her inappropriately. She goes on to say that "Oh, you're probably imagining it," she said. "He groped me! And he's wanking off!" Mom cocked her head and looked concerned. "Poor Stanley," she said. "He's so lonely." This is the theme of insanity.
