I would agree with Bookworm_Girl that Tony is one of the more interesting characters.

She always seemed to have the potential to change and develop as a person. During her experience with Morton I felt that her personality was developing but since she went with the family advice and married Grunlich her character seems to be flattening out. She has lost the opportunity to grow, develop. become a person in herself--to individuate--now she can only stagnate in a role. Perhaps one could see Tony as encapsulating in miniature the declining fortunes of the family over the generations.
