There are many characters in the Bronx Masquerade. They all have depths to them and certain characteristics. Which is why it's easy to compare and contrast them. But the variety of characters means that there is so much to choose from. I have chosen to compare Devon and Diandra and Gloria and Lupe.
Devon and Diandra are both tall people who are seen as sporty people because of their height. In reality Diandra isn't good at sports and is actually a shy person. Meanwhile Devon is great at basketball, but sports are neither of their passions. Devon likes to read poetry but is afraid of being seen and judged because he is seen as a complete jock. Devon is also fairly confident compared to the shy Diandra. Diandra's father was very disappointed in her gender and his opinion that her height was wasted on her.
Gloria and Lupe are complete opposites in certain areas. Gloria has a baby boy who is taking up all her time and making her abandon her party girl ways. Lupe doesn't have a child but wants one because she feels it's the only way she will get love. The father of Gloria's baby wants no part in his life and Gloria only has her mom, who seems to have a close relation to her, to help her. Meanwhile Lupe's mom is suffering abuse and mistreatment from her husband and Lupe's dad is out of the picture. Lupe is suffering from neglect. These are just some of the differences between them.
