Mrs. Sinico
Married to Mrs. Sinico and the father of Mary Sinico, Captain Sinico is a ship’s captain. He is often away from home as his boat travels between Dublin and Holland regularly. His frequent absences contribute to Mrs. Sinico’s loneliness, and he has lost interest in her sexually. Captain Sinico’s lack of attraction to his wife causes him to be blind to her relationship with Duffy; he cannot perceive that any man would be attracted to his wife. Ironically, he encourages Duffy to keep visiting because he thinks Duffy is courting Mary.
