The quote suggests a deep connection between the individuals, emphasizing a commitment not to part ways in life. I chose this quote because of the apparent sarcasm in the speaker's tone, reflecting a desire for control in the relationship.

“ If there wasn’t old age then she wouldn’t be afraid to lose you losing the other isn’t quite as terrible.”

This quote seems to express the idea that the fear of losing a loved one is exacerbated by the inevitability of old age. That's the reason why I like this quote because everyone at some stage of their life has a fear of losing a loved one. The speaker suggests that if old age were not a factor, the fear of losing someone might be less intense, possibly because the natural course of life and its associated challenges, such as aging and eventual separation, wouldn't be a concern. The comparison implies that losing someone to the effects of aging is more frightening than other forms of loss.

When he enters their house, he is treated as an inconvenience, comparable to a stray chicken. The old man is depicted as a pitiful and neglected figure, resembling a dying man who has been overlooked by the narrator.
