What were Andrew\'s thoughts as he waited for the child birth?why were they heavy and muddled? |
| Answer» Andrew was aware of the fact that overwrought as he was he would not be able to snatch even an hour\'s sleep and this case was particularly demanding. A strange lethargy of spirit was overpowering him.\xa0Andrew was reflecting upon the bleakness of life and futility of forming human relationships, he was tired and exhausted from being overworked and felt emotionally drained. His thoughts were heavy and muddled, especially after the episode that he had witnessed at Cardiff station. He thought of the unhappy relationships in which his friends found themselves like\xa0Bramwell\'s\xa0foolish devotion to a deceitful woman, Edward Page unhappily bound to a woman and Denny living away from his wife. His reason told him that all these marriages were dismal failures and this made him wince. He wished to consider marriage as a state of idyllic happiness, driven by the image of Christine before him. Her eyes shining towards him but he felt conflicted at the thought of the future. His doubting mind and overflowing heart were at odds, making him resentful and confused. There was despondency in his demeanour and he remained in that state so long that all his thoughts became filled up with Christine. He stopped thinking of the issue at hand.Andrew\'s thoughts were heavy and muddled because he was thinking of marriage as a failure and sacrifice, how people marry and they separate because of infidelity or other reasons. | |
