A lot of his actions are shown to have no thought or consideration prior to being acted out, and usually end in disastrous repercussions. In addition, he has inherited many of Rodrick's traits (such as laziness, large ego, disdain for sports, being a trickster, etc.).Ī notable trait of Greg is his lack of logical and critical thinking. Greg is often tormented and bullied by Rodrick and is also the victim of his pranks, yet they do care for each other deep down, particularly in the movies. Greg's father, Frank, is annoyed by Greg's antics and laziness and tries to make him more active. His mother tries to devise ways for Greg and his older brother Rodrick to get along but never work out. At home, Greg has a mixed relationship with his family, especially with his younger brother Manny, who is overly pampered and protected by his parents (particularly his mother Susan). Greg has other talents that he does not acknowledge, possibly because he is unaware of them-in the first book and its film adaptation, when Greg auditions for the school play, the drama teacher says he has a nice soprano voice, and he is later revealed to be good at sewing.Īt school, Greg receives bad grades, gets bullied, deals with the hardships of middle school, and is often trying to earn popularity points in order to gain attention and respect (though his plans to do so often result in either his own popularity dropping, or unintentionally boosting Rowley's popularity). He spends most of his time on his hobbies, which deters him away from essential tasks such as schoolwork and chores. Throughout the books, Greg has said that his only talents consists of his interests. His main hobbies include playing video games (namely " Twisted Wizard"), cartooning, and writing comics. Greg is very self-conscious and is often concerned of his popularity level and public image. Rowley's parents, mostly his father, see Greg as a bad influence on Rowley because of his behavior and tendency to get himself and Rowley into trouble. Whenever Greg does something wrong, he tries to blame another person. Several of Greg's schemes have backfired for example, in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Wrecking Ball, he tries to make Rowley jealous while talking about his kitchen remodeling plans, but is frustrated when Rowley is instead happy for him. Greg often causes trouble and plots mischievous schemes, with Rowley being involved in many of them. He sometimes makes Rowley do his chores, such as homework, or give him a piggyback ride. Greg is usually very selfish and sometimes lazy, much of which is shown from his frequent manipulation of Rowley.
