Darry disliked Paul Holden because he was a Soc and represented the privileged, wealthy group that often looked down on Greasers like Darry. Additionally, Paul had been involved in conflicts with the Curtis brothers in the past, igniting animosity between them.
Darry dislikes Paul Holden because he believes Paul is a bad influence on his brother Ponyboy. Darry worries that Paul will lead Ponyboy into trouble and distract him from his responsibilities at home and school. Additionally, Darry may be protective of Ponyboy and want to ensure he stays on the right path.
In the novel "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton, Darry wanted to fight Paul because he was frustrated and overwhelmed by the responsibilities of taking care of his younger brothers, Ponyboy and Sodapop, after their parents died. Darry felt pressure to provide for his family and ensure their well-being, leading to a buildup of stress and tension. His confrontation with Paul was a result of this pent-up frustration and his desire to assert his authority and protect his family.
Paul Holden is an old high school friend that Darry does not like. He is from the west side and got a football scholarship when Darry couldn't because even with it, Darry wouldn't be able to afford college.
He is one of the people that Darry went to highschool with.
ponyboy fights for
they hate each other because darry was suppose to e with the socs but since his parents died he never got the opportunity to be like paul . They use to be friends until the misfortune and darry became a greaser due to poverty.
Darry and Paul played football together before the Curtis family was torn apart. Darryl could have been one of Paul's soc friends if he hadn't been forced to take on the role of father to Sodapop and Ponyboy.
He feels guilty. He knows that he and Soda were part of the reason why those two were not friends any more. Ponyboy knows that Darry is not a soc is because Darry has to take care of him and Soda.
he punched darry
Darry was confident, but in the book it says that he felt a twinge of sadness - he didn't want to fight. He wanted to keep his brothers safe as they were his only family, and it was his responsibility to care for them as his parents died.
He didn't. Darry shouted, "Come on. I'll fight anyone!" And Paul stepped up. But I guess Darry didnt want to fight him because he use to be his buddy. Darry just didnt want to lose his manlyness and step down.
