But if it was just all that, I don't think I would like it as much, I think there's a sincerity to the tragedy, you feel sympathy for frank. Frank is confused and aimless and purposeless. I got shivers from the ending because I felt for frank, regaining some sense of self-actualization.

I think the themes of gender identity and masculinity lead to such a complicated conclusion, not only for our narrator but for us. Do you hold sympathy for a person who is incapable of feeling any themselves?
This is a story of both a victim and a perpetrator, who in the end holds no deep feelings about anything at all.
