Re: Fatal Flaw?
Million Dollar Baby - the title even says it's Maggie's story.
She the protagonist. She is the character that has the goal that drives the story on what all else hinges. We watch her grow and struggle and push forward with the help of her unlikely mentor.
Frank's not the one in the ring fighting. Frank's not the one riding the bus home, longing to have a better life. Frank's not the one trying to support his family. Frank's not the one doing anything except trying to help the protagonist achieve her goal.
Sure, Frank may have struggles of his own and might even arc, but it's not his story.
