In chapter three of the book, while describing Frank's past, talks a lot about his father's hands. What do you think the reason for this is? Perhaps a foreshadow?
well Frank said he wanted to beat his hands against the sink cause his nails never had the chance to grow so maybe he felt like his father there because he felt that his death did not give him an opportunity to live life with his father and to grow through life.. it could be a total stretch haha good point mike
I have mixed feelings about whether or not Frank's father's hands, or hands in general, will play an important role in the future. I think that a better assumption would be Frank's fathers actual relationship with him playing a more critical role for Frank, April, and his children. However I do believe that Frank's hands do hold a deeper meaning than what Yates denotes. I think that it represents Frank's inability to hold on to things, like relationship stability or individuality. His father was able, but he never relayed that information to his son.
I think that this is an interesting point, Mike- and the comments are intriguing. I think you need to look at how Frank has a tendency to objectify everyone around him- reducing others to hips, mouths, eyes.
