Counterpoint, Ch. 26
This chapter was a perfect example of the state of mind of a depressed human. There was self-destructive behavior, but it is not being done to actually cause harm to one's self, but because you just don't care enough NOT to do it. It was particularly striking in the fact that he hadn't bathed, at all, since coming back from Thanksgiving.
It is interesting that he is trying to get info from Emmett. He is also desperate for the answers. The intellectual is looking for a schedule for when things will be OK again. You display this well in his emails with Carlisle. When C doesn't offer the answer he wants, he is petulant to him in return.
These next few chapters will be painful to read.
