The final image affects my sense of it & prompts me to reread the previous images by overshadowing the original emotion. Everything seemed so happy & content but it really wasn’t. This goes back to the same quotes people use, “Don’t envy no one because you don’t know the life they really live”. I mean the fact that they don’t make eye contact with one another shows that she respects her husband & his word on things. She waits til he falls asleep to show her facial expression of true emotions. She can be unhappy with him or unhappy with their situation. I believe she’s unhappy with what ever situation they are in and I believe the man has learned to accept it.
The pattern I detected was the reuse of some lines such as,
“ thru the enormous meadow, which was the meadow of the world” & “without looking at each other”
These lines were repeated to keep the reader informed about the specific area of life & personality of the characters.
The epiphany is a dark one, simply because depression is a dark & hollow path. The epiphany was showing that they world may be of beauty but not every aspect of it is beautiful. You can live in a big mansion & have all the money in the world but that won’t necessarily make you happy because you can lack something that will lead you into depression. Something like having no family, broken heart, etc.
