What is the bad side you have seen about Ron and what is his good side?
For me Ron's bad side was that jumping from one Relationship to the other. And the good side I have seen is that he was persistent to what he wants no matter what.

I wouldn't say it's his bad side. Instead, I'd call it his weakness, that he was not able to regulate his gambling habit. If it weren't for Regina I think Ron could have ended up badly. One of the positive aspects is his self-confidence, which pushed him to achieve higher grades in school.

Having multiple relationships throughout one's lifetime is not a bad thing.

One bad side I could think of was during his early years, he was only interested in earning money. I don't blame him at all for that. I wanted him to figure out what his passions are other than that, like a crazy ambitions that would lead him to greatness. But then again, you need to have the privilege of having money and support to do that, which he didn't have at first.

His good side that I love was his loyalty to his friends. For me, it's one of the most important virtues you should have and offer to others... and he nailed it. I love him for that.

I feel one of Ron's most positive attributes is his determination, which lets him get through all matter of situations such as being assaulted, getting divorced, and even losing a loved one. He seems unshakable save for rare occasions in the book, which makes him a truly noteworthy character.

By the same token, Ron also seems to be the type to not question things beyond a preliminary examination, which gets him into trouble. A lot of the actions he takes seem questionable or dangerous (all of the experiments with Regina are prime examples, though even his "encounter" with Sheila radiated reckless behavior), and it's possible at least a few situations and complications could've been avoided if he'd used more hindsight (his divorce, potentially).

Yeah, I'd say he's an impulsive type of person, which is something that I kind of like. I think too much before making decisions, so it's a breath of fresh air to see someone like him who goes with the flow.

Luckily, Ron's impulsive behavior hardly got him in trouble. What I liked most about him is his attitude towards challenges. He lost on gambling and never took it negatively. He risked being evicted from his residence but did the right thing of striking a deal with his landlord.

One of the good sides of Ron was that he had self-confidence and he was also able to get higher grades in school. However, his weakness on the other side is little lack of self control and indulging in gambling etc.

I don't know that it's a matter of a "bad side" and a "good side". Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. For Ron, I would say he bounced around in relationships a lot while trying to figure out who he is and who he likes. He also had a bit of a gambling addiction that could have ending drastically different for him if not for the redeeming qualities Regina helped him find in himself.

Ron's bad side for me would be his gambling habits. His good side is definitely his resolve, when he sets his mind to achieve something, he does.

I think his jumping into different relationships is a weakness of him. I feel he was still not stable to figure out what he wanted and it was a learning process. His good side was his devotion towards his friends and I loved his personality as well

Ron, has an Epic Character! I would call him the go getter because he always gets what he desires (good side), I believe that is what lead to his uncontrollable gambling habit (bad side).

Having multiple relationships is good or bad depending on the culture. Given the culture where the book stands in, it doesn't appear to be a bad thing.

Keeping mind on earning money is not bad. But if he planned to do it by any means, then it can become ugly

And yes, he is persistent throughout, and it is a good quality

Agreed. He is rash when making decisions and it is not once or twice that he faced the relevant bad consequences

But his quality of being persistent throughout is admirable

He was good at many things and it made him develop his self confidence. But sometimes it felt like over confidence when his rash decision making taken into consideration
