The Sense of an Ending
1.What do you mean by
Unreliable Narrator? Is Tony Webster classifiable as Unreliable Narrator.
Tony webster has illustrated a story which
was there in his mind and in his memory and
you can't totally relay on memories because we are human beings and
there is some limitations for us that we remember good times good moments and
we want to forget bad experience of life we delete them from our memory though it may not be true to
everyone sometimes we remember half truth of our memory.and sometimes it
depends on a person that sometimes they recalls their bad memories 1st rather than the good ones.
So there is no authentic
document to prove the whole truth but if one have documented every thing than
we think to not to doubt on a particular work of literature.
Here In very first line he says :" I
remember ,in no particular order". Tony is in 2nd category he only knew
half of the truth from his memory than then he comes to conclusion with senses of
an ending. for eg. he has written half of the things without documentation
proves and he him self says the things was seems to be like this the way I
remembered.
"I was so I'll at ease
that ,I spent the entire weekend constipated : this is my principal facul
memory the rest consists of impressions and half-memories which may therefore be self-serving :for instance ..."
eg. Sarah Ford's communication
with him or the way frod's have treated him. And last but not the least Memory
is personal history. It is constructed as history is constructed. It is where
we may lie with ourselves. It is the story and thus fiction about ourselves,
narrated repeatedly by us, most of the time, false narrative.
4.What is the meaning of
phrase ‘Blood Money’ in Veronica’s
reply email?
Adrian was first in relation
to Veronica and then comes closer to Veronica's mother that was Sarah ford.And in
letter to Adrian Tony have suggested to see Veronica's mother to know real
about Veronica so may be that was the thing that Sharah Ford has send him a
money but Tony was totally blank about this chapter of Adrian and Sarah so he
was not able to get his ans and he email to Veronica and she wrote Blood Money.
Perhaps he is the reason for Adrian’s suicide and coming to sarah point of view may be she
was thankful to Tony for getting Adrian in his life because she has mentioned
that Adrian was happy in his last days.
8. Do you see any missing
block – some dot which is not getting connected with the
whole or dot missing to get full sense of the novel - in the plot of this
psychological thriller?
Missing block I don't know actually but I felt something is missing
in this or I felt strange that is:
"When
I came down
for breakfast, only Mrs
Ford was around. The
others had gone
for a walk,
Veronica having assured
everyone that I would
want to sleep
in. I can’t have
disguised my reaction to this very wel, as
I could sense
Mrs Ford examining
me while she made
bacon and eggs,
frying things in
a slapdash way
and breaking one of
the yolks. I wasn’t experienced
at talking to girlfriends’ mothers. ‘Have
you lived here long?’ I eventualy
asked, though I already knew the answer. She paused,
poured herself a cup of
tea, broke another
egg into the pan,
leant back against
a dresser stacked
with plates, and said, ‘Don’t let
Veronica get away with too
much.’ I didn’t know how to reply.
Should I be ofended at this interference in our relationship, or
fal into
confessional mode and ‘discuss’
Veronica? So I said, a litle primly, ‘What
do you mean, Mrs Ford?’
She looked at me, smiled in
an unpatronising way, shook her head slightly, and
said, ‘We’ve lived
here ten years.’
So in
the end I
was almost as
much at sea
with her as
with the rest of
them, though at
least she appeared
to like me.
She eased another egg
on to my plate,
despite my not
asking for it or
wanting it. The remnants of the broken one were stil in
the pan; she flipped them
casualy into the
swing-bin, then half-threw
the hot frying pan
into the wet
sink. Water fizzed
and steam rose
at the impact, and she laughed,
as if she had enjoyed causing this smal havoc. "
"When I
came downstairs to say
goodbye, Mr Ford
seized my suitcase and
said to his
wife, ‘I trust
you’ve counted the
spoons, darling?’ She
didn’t bother to
answer, just smiled
at me, almost
as if we had a secret ."
"Mrs Ford was leaning
against the porch, sunlight faling
on a wisteria climbing
the house above
her head. As Mr
Ford put the
car into gear and
spun the wheels
on the gravel,
I waved goodbye,
and she responded, though not the way people normaly do,
with a raised palm,
but with a
sort of horizontal
gesture at waist
level. I rather wished
I’d talked to
her more. To stop
Mr Ford pointing
out the wonders
of Chislehurst a second time, I
said to Veronica, ‘I like
your mum.’
this seems to be weird to me or seems to be somethingsomething was happening
with bothof them may be I may not be right but I feel that so and so for me
there is still not end..
5.Adrian’s
diary is willed to Tony by Sarah Ford. How come Sarah Ford owned it? Why was it
in the possession of Veronica?
Sarah Ford and Adrian was in relationship
and they had a son to so the diary was of Adrian was owns by Sarah Ford and she
willed to Tony to know the truth and he was the reason perhaps of their closeness
so she wants to willed to Tony and it was in possession of Veronica because son
of Sarah Ford and Adrian was a brother if we relate the relations so she was sister of that Adrian2.
