This is first seen through jealously. Carlos describes how he could ‘barely look’ at Francesco’s wife due to the fact that ‘she had known the pleasure of his body in a way that I could never know’. The ending of the sentence ‘I could never know’ shows the sad acceptance of Carlo due to the fact that Carlo was already in a relationship and also because he is dead.
