Although he dislikes his job and many of his close friends, Frank is content to muddle through his life, finding the joy is other things. Frank is relatively comfortable in his own skin, and although he never really wanted children, engages with them more than April does, reading them the 'funnies' and sympathising with Jennifer when she cries about moving away. Yates examines what makes or breaks a married relationship under a microscope for the reader, and shows us the tragedy of misunderstanding and miscommunication at the conclusion of the novel.Īpril and Frank simply cannot relate to one another. No marriage presented to us is a stable one, especially the central focus, Frank and April. Marriage and family relationships is perhaps the central theme of Revolutionary Road.
