Frankie is by nature emotional, expressive, and vulnerable. He has been traumatized by the War and by an environment which denies emotions, and is ultimately betrayed by the more crippled — that is, more grotesque, twisted — Sparrow, whose street-wise instincts put his own survival ahead of brotherhood.
