![]() ![]() ![]() Instead he's going to go back to the workshop and make more jewelry. Notice how quickly the narrative moves from "I have to " to "Just be glad." Frank isn't going to beat his head against a wall here. At the end of the book, after being arrested and freed, Frank seems to accept that there are some things that he will never know and that he should just go along with the flow: This easy-going manner is emphasized by the way Frank ends up. Instead of killing a bunch of people, he's learned how to survive, even come to appreciate the Japanese way of doing things-and not by becoming a secret racist, like Childan (1.50). But instead, over the past 15 years, he's made peace with the idea of the Pacific States. For instance, after the war, Frank had planned to join a violent resistance against the Japanese (1.48). We get the feeling that if Frank could avoid making any decisions or doing anything, he would. Frank does it, but it's Ed's idea (4.70).Įven when Frank does make a decision or take an action, he first asks the I Ching how he should proceed or what he should do. And the same thing could be said about Frank frightening Childan about the antiques being fakes. He only goes into business with Ed because Ed asks him to (and, oh yeah, because Frank got fired by W-M). But Frank isn't the one with the idea to start a jewelry business or the one with the designs for new jewelry. So Frank can make good stuff, whether it's fake guns or authentic jewelry. Even the lab that examines the fake gun for Childan says it's a great forgery, done by "a real pro" (4.133). When he's making fake Civil War pistols for "Wyndam-Matson," he does it all: "he had made the molds himself, done the casting, and had been busy hand-smoothing the pieces" (4.32). Although Frank is very important for the arts and crafts plot (see our " Brief Summary") and he gets the most POV sections (tied with Tagomi), he doesn't seem to be doing very much here-and what he does seems motivated by other people.įor instance, Frank is important to this book because he creates authentic American jewelry with "Ed McCarthy." And Frank is very good as a craftsman. He changes his name from the Jewish-sounding "Frank Fink" to the silly-sounding "Frank Frink," so he can hide from Nazis. While the show may have not intended to kill off Frank, the manner in which they ended the character's life was appropriately melodramatic for a show that often featured dramatic stakes that could rival Shakespeare's greatest tragedies.When we try to list all of Frank Frink's important actions and decisions in this book, we get… actually, we don't have a list at all, just one entry that happens before the book starts. ![]() Netflix cut ties with Spacey in November of 2017, leaving the final season of House Of Cards without their central character. But, as the show's former star Kevin Spacey was removed from the series following at least 15 allegations ranging from sexual harassment to rape and assault, according to a 2017 story by USA Today. The original version of Season 6 likely wouldn't have killed Frank Underwood. ![]() It's not revealed until the final scene of the final episode of House of Cards that Frank Underwood was killed by someone who had been working with him since the show's very first season. There's no talk of assassination or any parties who may have wanted the former president dead, but it's clear that Claire knows more about Francis' death than she's letting on. The final season of House Of Cards drops hints about how Frank Underwood died between Season 5 and Season 6, and it seems that the official narrative is that Frank simply died in bed as a result of some kind of medical issue. It's hard to imagine that anyone in the world of House Of Cards believed for a second that Frank Underwood had died of natural causes. Spoilers for the series finale of House Of Cards. ![]()
