Or, on the other hand, is he stressed, having second thoughts about his life choices, and unsure about the meaning of his life? First, my view is that the definition of success has become distorted in our time. Mainstream marketing and media have effectively brainwashed our society into accepting a false meaning of success.
Ironically Frank being the well educated half of the comic duo he is slowly killing his knowledge with the drink, as this creates a humorous effect for the audience as they are able to see that Rita longs for the intellegence that Frank has.
