It's thinkin about the line "You know, the only thing that keeps Darry from bein' a soc is us, y'know?" from Two n Pony sayin' "Yeah, I know." hours again
#theres just so much to unpack here#ok#lemme get into this#alright one#darry curtis was never goin to be a soc#bc a soc aint just a social class (darry couldn't get to either way)#but rather also a certian in group that rests on the hatred of greasers#'soc' doesnt refer to every rich kid the way 'greaser' does refer to every poor ki#do we see what i mean?#im not bein real coherent down here#but anyways#darry definitely has a fair amount of internalized classism#he doesnt want to be lumped in n compared to greasers#he sets himself apart in the way he looks talks n acts#but he could never hate them#also the fact that this line comes from two is so important to me#its a rare serious moment from him#effectively realizin that darry curtis might be the best of them#he could go places#n two who is proud to be a greaser n sees himself goin nowhere#his 'were the only thing keepin darry from goin soc' has much more to do with 'were the only thing keepin darry'#whos probably thinkin of johnny in that moment n darry curtis n ppl who deserve better#whereas ponys 'yeah i know'#has a lot more to do with 'IM keepin MY brother here'#aoughhhh#that line makes me a lil insane every time#the outsiders#ponyboy curtis#two bit mathews#darry curtis
