Mr
Stephen Whyte’s solemn nature and delicate sensibility alienate him from what he sees as the malaise of the crude sensibility and coarse, frivolous life of his community. His search for a means to remedy that malaise – and thereby end his isolation and take a place in the community appropriate to his higher sensibility – leads him inexorably to a course of action that risks his entire future and wellbeing.
