One of the characters we have been introduced to so far in Point Counterpoint is Frank Illidge.  Frank is an assistant to Lord Edward in the science lab. He has redish hair and is not very tall. He is also part of the lower class and dislikes the rich very much. He does not like to be ignored and he cares a lot about what other people think about him. Because he cares so much, he is also very insecure and self conscious because he is always feeling judged. He believes that the rich ignore him at the party because of his physical appearance even though Illidge believes himself to be very knowledgeable. Illidge says, "If I looked like that enormous lout, Webley, they wouldn't neglect me, even if my mind were like Newtons...You're lucky you know, you look like a gentleman or at least an artist. You have no idea what a nuisance it is to look like an intellectual of the lower class" (pg. 52). By analyzing this quote and Illidge's other ideas about life we can tell he feels segregated because of his social status. He believes the rich only care about titles and physical appearances. This makes him hate them because he is knowledgable but others do not see him as that because of his status.
