schau mal oben, da hat violet schon zu a wiederholt:
„ - Liz
met Bagnall in a car accident (cf. p. 39, l. 9)
a “calm” (p. 39, l. 47) person, but with a trace of hardness: she once drowned six puppies in Jack’s presence without showing any emotion (cf. p. 40, ll. 5ff.)
her family lives in the simple and superstitious country (cf. p. 39, ll. 17ff.)
has “bloody awful” (p. 43, ll. 9ff.) friends who disapprove of her relationship with a separated man
she loves Jack(cf. p. 41, ll. 8-9), but ends the relationship because although separated from his wife, the outcome / result of the referendum leaves their love no future perspective: it means that he cannot divorce his wife (the exact reason, however, is of financial nature, as Liz fears that Jack’s wife might claim Bagnall’s possessions after his death, which would leave Liz with nothing if they were to live together!), cf. p. 40, ll. 44ff.)



und b würd ich sagen:
bagnall is afraid about her decision( she brake up to relationship)
he wanted to live with her
is shocked but tries to be cool
is dissappointed and feels himself bad to forget about his feelings
is confused and drinks alcohol because of it
irishmen dont talk about their feelings so he has nobody to speak about his problems and feelings @ lock
