On The Bridge Character Analysis

Adam Lockwood : Adam is Seth's so called friend who is a smoker. Seth smokes only around him. He is aggresive, cocky and not dependable. We can easily understand that when he brags about having beaten the crap out of some guy at the mall the day before; his ripped sleeves on his old leather jacket; and the time when he tells the three big men that Seth was the one who flicked the cigarette on the car whereas it was him even though it meant that Seth would get beaten by three big men for his actions.

Seth Dawson : Seth is Adam's friend who wants to be cool like him. He isn't a smoker normally, but he smokes around Adam to look cool. He thinks that Adam is cool and hangs around him just to look cool, and that's not the only thing he does to look cool. He had ripped the sleeves of his new denim jacket and had washed it in the washing machine a thousand times to make it look old to look cool, like Adam. He is naive, shy, a wannabe but trustworthy and brave. He tries to look like something he's not to look cool;0 he is awestruck at each of Adam's actions(making out with girls, mocking the drivers and civilians on the highway, etc.) because he thinks it's way too cool;and he doesn't tell the three big men that it was Adam who threw the cigarette on their car not to squeal on Adam and lose his trust.
