This Passage is from page 22\/23 of the text, where we find George Talboys talking to Miss Morley on the ship back to London and we see George\u2019s bubble burst. Miss Morley\u2019s own doubts about coming back to London, slowly at first, starts to affect the mood of George. He asks her \u201cwhy do you come and try to put such fancies into my head\u201d (22), because he is realizing that he has been naive to believe that after 3 and \u00bd years of being gone without explanation – his wife could be ill, spiteful, or even worse dead. These are dark and dangerous thoughts for George because as his bubble pops, he has 3 years of anxiety and bad thoughts rushed into his head all at once.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This passage changes the tone of the novel quickly. Before this passage, or this chapter, the author describes the beauty of Audley court and shows us a pretty romantic engagement speech. But this passage acts as a tone shift to the novel and contrasts against the light of the first chapter, with a dark and looming realization and thought pattern in this passage. George\u2019s new doubts of his marriage affects him greatly, as well as adds conflict for the reader. \u201cMy pretty little wife! My gentle, innocent, loving, little wife! …. why her faithful husband had deserted her?\u201d (23). Continues to add new information for us, and give us more about why his bubble popping shakes George up so much. This passage seems to be pretty important because in our first meeting of George he changes drastically. From a happy go lucky lover, to very sad and distraught. I believe this passage will create more problems than the mental distress George is under. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
