Jerry Levov from American Pastoral is the realistic version of Swede. He is a surgeon, has been married a few times, all to nurses he's worked with. His father and he don't get along as Jerry doesn't subscribe to the perfectly compartmentalized idea of life that the rest of them believe in. Jerry tries to urge Swede to take charge of his daugher's life, to save her, but in the end Swede's passive nature wins out.
