Idgie and Buddy Jr.

Idgie Threadgoode and Buddy Jr. have a very special relationship. After Idgie’s brother, Buddy passed away as a young man she was never the same; their relationship seemed as one that could never be duplicated and was very special to the both of them. She was devastated and went through a very dark place after his death. Buddy Jr.seems to have filled some of the space in her heart that was created after her brother’s death. They have a unique relationship and thinks of him as her own son; she picks on him for things but realizes that this helps him to become a better and tougher man for it. This relationship is like the one that she had with her older brother. I think she remembers how much of an affect he had on her life that she wants to do the same with Buddy Jr.
