Ma, ora che gli è morto il padre, prende farmaci per dormire e si barcamena con fatica fra due relazioni con donne molto diverse: il primo, imperituro amore, Sylvia, e Naomi, una studentessa universitaria per cui la vita è un'unica lunga barzelletta. Ivan è un campione di scacchi ventiduenne. Si è sempre considerato uno sfigato, un paria, l'antitesi del suo disinvolto fratello maggiore.

Lui è il figlio di una donna pratica e premurosa che per mantenerlo fa la domestica in casa d'altri (quella della madre di Marianne). Nell'inventario di vantaggi e svantaggi, l'inferiorità economica di Connell è bilanciata sul piano sociale.
