In the scene we read in class, we get an overview of Swenson's life after what he has done comes out in the open. We see how he struggles cooking considering Sherrie use to do that for him and he adapts to eating frozen foods. He also has become an alcoholic and drinks everyday around 5. I think an important part of this reading is when Ruby calls, I expected more anger out of her but she was just blunt with him. He starts watching movies and reading of adultery and I just think that eases his guilt because he is not the only one that has done it. Also I think he is in denial too because he doesn't really face reality and doesn't really try to fix anything with Sherrie, he also mentions forgetting about her while he reads and he just accommodates to living by himself. He does show embarrassment because he doesn't want anyone to see him while he is giving the book back to the library so he goes early in the morning. I don't think Swenson realizes how bad it actually is to what he has done.
