In "The Outsiders," Darry's silent fear is the possibility of losing his brothers, particularly Ponyboy. He worries that he won’t be able to keep the family together after the death of their parents. This fear manifests in his protective behavior, as he takes on the role of guardian for his younger brothers. He is constantly concerned about their safety and well-being, which leads him to be strict and sometimes harsh, as he wants to prevent any harm from coming to them. This underlying fear drives his actions and often makes him seem distant or unapproachable to Ponyboy and Sodapop.
