Clayton Jenson Character Analysis

13 Reasons Why: Character Analysis + Writing in role 

Clay Jenson and Hannah Baker: 

Hey Everyone, My Name is Clayton Jensen, but everyone calls me Clay.
I'm a naive, dependent person. I'm a guy with a good reputation with a great appearance as well. I lack confidence in myself and i'm really shy.  Thus even when I  liked Hannah, I couldn’t confess it and after Hannah committed suicide, I regret my hesitation. I'm a model student who is always polite, kind, and sincere. I am also an emotional and tenderhearted boy, who truely grieves Hannah's death. I keep my reputation clean by playing it safe and keeping things drama-free. I'm certainly not a risk- taker. I priortize schoolwork over parties and i don't get publically involved  with girls with bad reputations. But it doesn't mean i have no social life, I just prefer to put the studies first. My whole time knowing Hannah Baker, I’ve always ignored the rumors and refused to hear the words others  had said about her. I’ve always wanted to know the real Hannah Baker. I cried when I heard what had happened to her. I am not afraid to admit it.
