        <description><![CDATA[The danger that he sensed was that he had to finalize the divorce proceedings with his wife, Sarah which he was unwillingly to do so. After a lengthy relationship, it would be very hard and difficult to just separate- there would be a lot of emotional problems and setbacks. He was unwillingly to let go of this relationship and wanted her to change her mind. He couldn't accept the facts and handle anything of the matter as if they divorce...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Macon's siblings (Rose, Charles, and Porter) are much like Macon--they are reclusive, they value order, and they cling to the &quot;Leary way&quot; of doing things. Muriel's neighborhood and Singleton Street in particular are the complete opposite of the Leary's protected and predictable world. While it is an uncomfortably different world for Macon, it is in this setting that he eventually moves beyond the narrowness of his life and his...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I don't think the story is a commentary about modern marriage as much as it is about what happens to Macon after the tragic death of his son and what he discovers about himself in the process of healing. The themes of the story deal with death, apathy,passivity, and isolation from the outside world.Macon does learn that when he's around Sarah, his wife, he becomes someone who's aloof and disconnected from emotion and any kind of contact with...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The ending certainly gives us the idea that Macon and Muriel will get back together. The turning point for Macon is when he injures his back in Paris, and Sarah comes to take care of him. The time he's spent with Muriel gives Macon an opportunity to compare his behavior and attitude when he's with Sarah to how he is when he's with Muriel. He realizes now that when he's with Sarah he is aloof and disconnected. The person he is with Sarah is...]]></description>
