The character described is someone who has been raised in a life of privilege, leading him to have a hopeful outlook on life. This environment has instilled in him an expectation that things will always turn out positively. However, this strong belief in the potential for good becomes a weakness when faced with the inevitable challenges and disappointments of life.
As a result, he finds himself easily swayed by optimism, unable to handle the reality of failure or setbacks. His inability to manage disappointment reflects a deeper struggle, suggesting that his upbringing has left him unprepared for the complexities and hardships that can arise, which ultimately leads to his emotional vulnerability.
