At the end of the reading, Swenson wants to confess to Magda, sort of get it off his chest. But he also stops himself from confessing by comparing himself to a criminal. This is significant because he is showing a small sign of regret. His actions begin to weigh on him heavier, effecting his class and his relationship with Angela. He also begins to question Angela’s reasoning. Whether she actually wanted to have sex with him or if she was using him. He’s leaning towards the fact that she’s trying to blackmail him, and that’s why she brought up his editor in New York. She wants to use his connections for herself and she is in the perfect position to do so because Swenson slept with her.
