>Frank fancies himself the leftist intellectual more gifted than his materialistic neighbors; when in truth he's a self pitying, insecure, violent, pretentious coward.
>Shep settles for mediocre suburban life married to a woman well below his level, but guilt for past mistreatment makes him feel indebted. Despite playing dumb and far from perfect; he's more insightful, honest, and dependable than Frank.
>April, abused housewife in crisis over realization she married a fraud, is so desperate for Frank to be what she idealized that she's willing to blame herself for their problems and move to Paris so he can use artistic/intellectual talents he only seemed to have

7/10 - I hate Frank but April is such a Bitch. God Damn. I wish I could write about suburbia they way he does.
