I realized what it was I loved about working for Squizzy Taylor. It was more than just the money. It was the power I loved as well.

Charlie, p. 69

While Charlie could convince himself and others that he needed to work for Squizzy because his family depended on him, in a moment of honesty, Charlie admits to his thirst for power. Having grown up without money or any of its concomitant power, Charlie develops a bravado through his association with a menacing gangster. Though he is only a sixteen-year-old working-class boy, Charlie is able to intimidate shop owners and policemen.
