I felt like his friendship with Ann was the closest he came to having an authentic relationship with someone. This brush with reality becomes enormously important as he falls farther away from the real world. <br /><br />One thing that just struck me was that this scene of departure reminds me slightly of Dequincey's departure from school, where he talks about parting being much sadder when you know its the last time. I wonder if Ann knew she was saying goodbye for the last time, and I wonder if Dequincey's regret is connected to this realization that he would not see her again.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01927226464553012535noreply@blogger.com
