motif of brotherhood

The Fisher family is deeply divided within itself. There’s no loyalty between Erik and Paul. Instead Paul is terrified of his older brother and Erik shows no love for Paul. Fisher family values are drastically different than Cruz family values. Mr. Fisher is exclusively concerned with is Erik’s success on the football field and totally neglects Paul. Mrs. Fisher is concerned with appearances and thus ignores the issues playing out between the rest of the members of her family. Paul sees Erik for what he is and what his parents enabled him to be: a sociopath.
