In Diaz's story, Yunior, the narrator, sees his father cheating on his mother and senses that this familial transgression is potentially threatening to his family's happiness; he does not fully appreciate his father's motivations, and comprehends only partially how this adulterous affair might connect to his father's changing identity.

Extending his criminal reach to the rug signals that Abner’s resentment now encompasses the domestic sphere as well.
