Paper Summary:

The paper analyzes the character of Gilbert, in the movie "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?". The paper examines Gilbert's relationships with the other characters in the movie. The writer further analyzes the characters of Arnie, Gilbert's younger, mentally-disabled brother; his morbidly-obese mother; and Betty Carver, the woman Gilbert is having an affair with. The paper concludes with a deeper look at Gilbert's relationship with his two sisters.

From the Paper:

"Betty Carver's affair with Gilbert covers up her deep dissatisfaction with her marriage and with her life. She ignores her children, who scream and act belligerently. Betty, who is probably in her early 40s, becomes highly dependent on Gilbert for emotional sustenance. When it appears Gilbert may be losing interest in the affair, Betty throws an emotional tantrum out of desperation."
