Question
1. The end of “A Painful Case” is confusing, as we don’t get much of Mr. Duffy’s thoughts about Mrs. Sinico’s death. How do you interpret the end of the story? Do you think that Mr. Duffy will change his attitude about life after he hears of Mrs. Sinico’s death? What in the story makes you think that? Find three places in the story that support your answer.
