The Westing Game

Julian R. Eastman Character Analysis

The mysterious Julian Eastman is the president and CEO of the Westing Paper Products corporation—and an alias of Sam Westing. Westing disguises himself as Eastman in the wake of his terrible automobile accident in order to hide from the public eye in plain sight. Eastman is the last of Westing’s aliases left “alive”—he lives out the remainder of his days following the end of the Westing game as Eastman, though Turtle, the winner of the Westing game and Sam Westing’s great-niece, never calls Eastman anything but “Sandy” (another of Westing’s aliases). Many years after the conclusion of the game, when Eastman is an old man, he perishes on the Fourth of July—Sam Westing’s favorite holiday—and leaves control of the company to his protégé Turtle, now known as T.R. Wexler.
