Frank’s affair symbolizes secrecy and the unclear responsibilities of friendship. Frank eventually admits to Tub that he has been having an extramarital affair with a 16-year-old girl. Frank says that he believes he is in love with the girl. Tub tries to be a good friend by supporting Frank. However, this support contributes to what is likely very poor decision-making on Frank’s part.
