The Sense of an Ending

 1. What is the meaning of phrase ‘Blood Money’ in Veronica’s reply email?

This phrase can be interpreted in various ways like Tony is self-centric narrator and he think Veronica’s mother sent 500 dollar because she damages him is silly thing.

 Ans: For Sarah it means because of Tony she got handsome young boy who in love with her and that’s why she sent money to him which is blood money for Veronica. She may felt guilty of Adrian’s suicide and she wants to blame Tony or wants to regret for that and so she sent him.  Veronica thinks that because of Tony Adrian would have relation with her mother. If Tony had not sent letter to Adrian or informed him that if you are not believe in me than ask her own mother who will inform you. And Adrian may go to ask her and since there their relation would have started and she became pregnant and that’s why intellectual Adrian had suicide. It means Tony played feelings of people and which lead to the destruction of some character’s life like Veronica, Sarah, baby, Adrian so it is blood money. 

 2:Was the mentally retarded middle aged ‘Adrian’, Tony’s friend who did not commit suicide and was suffering from trauma and thus gone mad, and was living with hidden identity?

Ans: Possibilities not lie there because there is the clarification of suicide note. Adrian did very intellectual philosophical suicide. He believes that there is nothing wrong in suicide. There are different reasons of suicide but there are not possibilities of Adrian living with hidden identity.

5.How was Veronica related to Adrian, the one suffering in care-in-the-community?

Ans: It is not clear but according to the interaction of Tony with other fellow and Junior Adrian it indicates Veronica and Junior Adrian are sibling to whom she take care as other are doing.

8.Do you see any possible reason in the suicide of Adrian Finn?

Ans:Why Adrian Finn committed suicide is not clear through the narrative but we can assume the reasons. There are many reasons like maybe he falls in love with his girlfriend’s mother. Or maybe something has happened between Mrs. Sarah Ford and Adrian and Mrs. Sarah Ford becomes pregnant. Or maybe he did not want his child and Mrs. Sarah Ford was not ready to aboard the child. Or maybe out of fear of society and Mr. Ford he committed suicide. But apart from this it was also said that when he died his mind was fully under his control so the things are not much clear.
