For instance, after Kenny and Frank leave Tub out in the cold, waiting for an hour, Frank scolds Tub by saying, “you [have not] done anything but complain since we got here” (Wolff,29). Rather than sympathizing with Tub, Frank disregards his concern and continues to mock him after about his insecurities like his weight.
