There is no friend in St Petersburg. Georg is writing letters to his future feasible failed-self who is a psychological manifestation of his own guilt and fear that he WILL become a stranger and an alien to this world after all this success in his business fades away one day. The ruckus between his father and him was more of a surreal spat rather than a real one if you ask me!.. The fact that his father seeing through Georgs plan of abandoning him and leave off with his wife and claiming that he sent all those letters where he already revealed already that Georg is alreadh engaged, js rather a symobolic portrayl of how GEORGE sees this situation in guilt, and the manipulation and abuse from his father and the fear of feeling exposed/caught. This "friend" is himself and he was just writing consolatory messages with banal news before the inevitable alienation and death.

I didn’t realize that Frost wrote short stories, if indeed this is the Robert Frost we know and love as poet. The story is very telling of human nature, represented by both man and woman.

What good stories and authors you have on this channel! How on earth has it not come up on my menu before now? Thank you!

So that’s where Doyle got ideas for his stories! 😂😂😂

She hunted, too., only she didn’t hunt with a firearm., like the young lady at the teashop. Turns out that sparrows are hunters, too.

She was still longing for relationship, for loving attention … he, the eternal hunter. Better not to get comfortable … or worse, too uncomfortable. “Impaled” was a telling word.

😂 I know some prime candidates for a whopping good failure….. 😂

😂😂😂😂😂

What an ungrateful child!

Assignment namn tog tanginaaa

Hello guyzzz.... Ahahaha

I read this story and a few more Carson McCullers short stories last night . I thought this was a profound- weird short story in the style of the great Russian writer Anton Chekov . To be sure LOVE has deeper than " True Romance " meanings.

Yet another one of Kafka's archetypal stories; a boisterous, imposing, narcissistic and neurotic father who till the end of his days tries his hardest to emotionally blackmail and control his offspring. The control seems centralised in a more physical fashion, during his prime. Which gradually turns into a sort of emotional blackmail and pity seeking devilry as his hair turn grey and his palour withers. The son despite having grown up physically and becoming more than capable of rejecting this arguably father figure, finds himself more entrenched into a seeming moral obligation as a son to nurture the tyrannical old fool. This moral obligation is but exploited by the shrewd parent. And the end of which is quite the substance for modernist domestic tragedies. A parasitic father plaguing the life of an underdeveloped son's persona. Like termite, eating his hollowed existence from within. It is quite chilling the son ended his life impulsively, overcome by the verbal assualt of his father. And a fitting kafka-esque imagery is produced forth as we realise the dying of Georg would be drowned in the noise of the bustling city life. Absolutely ignored.

Why did you have to abridge a six page story? You left out some of the best lines at the end.

.. Going with a kind of Modernist alienation reflection where Georg is having a dream or daydream where the older generation feels the younger generation is to be railed against. To wit, Georg used to be an able gymnast and in sync with his parents but now they project their fears onto him and he knows it. This is one view. Also, I was a JOE FRANK fan and I can hear echoes to Joe's radio shows, absurdist and alienated. Anyway, it's like we are witnessing the million thoughts in a nanosecond as Georg wonders if Killing Himself NOW would ever satisfy his father. As a person who's contemplated it for feeling so empty in the center of being, I vibed with this story, I wonder if Georg also suffered some Borderline personality stuff too after WW1. Anyhoo.....

Very helpful
