Roman's biggest misfortune is that he loved his father and was never allowed to show it When his emotions punch their way through the walls he has up what we see is that scared, sad, bed-wetting little boy 🖋️ alexjpollard for ipaperviews Succession
Season four has done a particularly deft job of revealing Roman’s humanity. When he was forced by his father to fire Gerri – with whom he has had some sort of unconsummated sado-masochistic flirtation – the pain it caused him was obvious. “That was horrible, with Gerri … are you kind of just being sh*tty with me?” he asked Logan, whose approval he has spent his entire life trying to win, in a voicemail that he may or may not have heard before his sudden death.
Roman is not amoral. He just likes to pretend he is. This is a man who craves intimacy just as much as he fears it, who has had it stamped into him, sometimes literally, that emotions are a sign of weakness, and yet can’t help but be led by them.Most tragic of all is that, like a kicked puppy, Roman has repeatedly excused his father’s abuse. When Logan knocked out his tooth in season two, Roman insisted: “It’s just a tooth. I’ll get another one.
After his father died – something he refused to believe long after his siblings had accepted it – Roman’s nihilistic streak ran amok. With no one left to believe in, he came untethered, firing people, helping elect a neo-Nazi as president, throwing himself into a crowd of rioters. Roman’s biggest misfortune is that he loved his father and was never allowed to show it. And when his emotions punch their way through the walls he has up – “Is he in there? Can we get him out?” he asked in the penultimate episode, pointing at the coffin at his father’s funeral – what we see is that scared, sad, bed-wetting little boy.
