The next part of "The Sense of an Ending" by Julian Barnes brought forth other enthralling scenarios. He finally ends his relationship with Veronica. He tells us about his wife Margaret and his children and grandchildren. It seems as though he ended up getting his life together which made me happy. I think I am starting to see the correlation between the concept of time and his history. The idea of time passing by quicker when fun is being had is ever present.
I still think that Adrian's suicide is very sad. I actually agreed with Tony's mother when she said he may have done it because he is too clever. She was able to analyze it on the spot. I think that a correlation can be drawn between this and "Notes from the Underground." In "Notes from the Underground", the narrator sees both sides of everything so he renders himself inactive. I believe that since Adrian is so intelligent, he, in effect, did the same thing. He is brilliant and almost too brilliant. Seeing both sides of things would be annoying in my opinion.
I am still thoroughly enjoying reading this novel and still think of it as my favorite thus far.
