The Kellers’ neighbor on the other side, Frank was too old to be drafted, and this has caused him to place a great deal of emphasis on numerology and astrology. Frank has been constructing an astrological chart for Larry, to determine where and if he died; it is also shown that Frank and Annie had a thwarted courtship before the war.

Explanation and Analysis:
Frank is an openly superstitious character. He has spent his time since the war living in suburbia, working a job, and reading astrological charts for information on Larry Keller's disappearance. From the beginning, then, Miller's play is concerned with the line between rational understanding, belief, and superstition. Most of the other characters are not as explicitly superstitious as Frank, but they nevertheless each have, in their way, their own non-rational understandings of how events played out during and after the Second World War.Despite this, the other characters, with the exception of Kate Keller, seem not to pay too much serious Dolorem et quae.
