Nick
Honey is Nick’s wife, a couple of years his junior, and is described as petite and plain. She is clearly not very intelligent, and becomes drunk very quickly, retiring to lie on the bathroom floor and peel labels off alcohol bottles. It is evident that Nick, handsome and intelligent, feels he deserves better, and he ultimately confesses to George that he only married Honey because of a hysterical pregnancy and his parents’ expectations. Honey, like Martha, it turns out, cannot have children and is distraught by her infertility. She is clearly the weakest character in the play and spends much of the play offstage.
