Consider misogyny Frank Abagnale cites his parents' divorce as one of the primary events that shaped his larcenous character. However, Frank has very little insight into the anger he feels towards his mother, and he does not realize that he directs that anger against women in general. Frank believes he loves women; he sees himself as an accomplished lover and wooer of women. Like many misogynists, he fails to recognize his own misogyny.
