Why do you think Dexter quit? Discuss the significance of this line “…Dexter was unconsciously dictated to by his winter dreams.” Are you ever dictated to by your “winter dreams”

Literary Analysis Tuesday 6) “Often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted it—and sometimes he ran up against the mysterious denials and prohibitions in which life indulges.” Why is this significant?

What is denied? 7) How had Dexter’s perception of Judy changed in part II 8) What is the significance of the tune coming from the piano? 9) What does “direction” signify in the line at the end of part II, …for the second time, her casual whim gave a new direction to his life.”
