He constantly masks his problems and never deals with them. Sadly, many marriages lack the aspect of communication. In this story, if the couple would have expressed their concerns with one another, there might not have been such “blindness” within their marriage.

Also, if the husband wasn’t using substances every night, he would realize that his underlying problems are not with Robert, but with himself.
I bought her a hot-water heater, and another one when it wore out…They were tiny things, inconsequential things. I did them because I was supposed to, because it was my turn to do things for her, and because I was trying to make up for any wrong I had ever done her.” (Bragg, pg. 151) His mother made many sacrifices for her boys when she was growing up, and Bragg was compassionate to his mother.

Most of the time, people repress things because they don’t want to get hurt.
At first it didn’t give the impression that it was an imperative scene to the understanding of the story because there was no background to her, she didn’t seem to have any significant value to the story until you read further. Anther scene I feel deserves the title of a climax is the death of Henry Lamartine Jr. The whole chapter conveys so much emotion, mostly of the relationship between Henry Jr. and his half brother Lyman Lamartine. After Henry’s experience in the war he was never the same person and was never happy. It wasn’t that he wanted to be like that it was that he was unable to find that happiness after being in so much hate.
