Apu is sympathetic, because he unlike Flip has a backstory. Apu has controling parents, who arranged his marriage with Mangula. I know it's normal in India, but to us that's scary. Mangula often verbally abuses Apu and doesn't support him. They have octuplets, so it's really hard to imagine how to handle such difficulties.
