The Turk is a young Turkish man that Margo begins a romantic relationship with at the strawberry-pink villa. Margo initially tries to keep their relationship secret, but Spiro informs Mother of the Turk's presence, telling her that Turks as a rule are violent, dangerous, and not to be trusted. Though the Turk never seems violent, he is condescending and self-important. His relationship with Margo ends after a disastrous night out at the cinema.
