Ponyboy Curtis, the protagonist of "The Outsiders," bears some responsibility for his actions and the events that unfold, but he is also a product of his environment and circumstances. While he makes choices, such as running away and associating with the Greasers, many of the situations he faces are influenced by societal pressures and the conflict between social classes. Ultimately, his journey reflects the struggles of adolescence and the search for identity amidst chaos, highlighting both personal accountability and external factors.
