Who is Aston, The Caretaker from The Caretaker and the Dumb Waiter; Two Plays and what is their importance? The_Caretaker English & Literature "Aston

Aston is a reserved and kind man who befriends the homeless Davies, whom he rescues from a fist-fight with a former co-worker. Aston talks very little and seems to ignore the blustery Davies, who rambles on about his past and his problems. Aston lives in one of the apartments of a large apartment building that he runs but that is owned by his younger brother, Mick. Aston has sympathy for the down-on-his-luck Davies, and offers him a place to stay until he can sort his life out.
