Don’s friend Gene, probably the trilogy’s least likeable character, is held accountable for his past behaviour. This has changed, and Rosie is now a realistic, fully fledged character, happy to let her partner take the lead on family matters when her attention is needed at work, where she has no patience for the male colleague – aptly nicknamed Judas – who consistently undermines her. In The Rosie Project, Rosie’s portrayal felt uncomfortably close to the Manic Pixie Dream Girl archetype (a quirky female love interest here to rescue the misunderstood male protagonist), and her feminism, while clearly expressed, felt like her point of view, rather than one of the driving forces of the story.
