"Maman died today. Or yesterday maybe, I don’t know. I got a telegram from the home: “Mother deceased. Funeral tomorrow. Faithfully yours.” That doesn’t mean anything. Maybe it was yesterday."
I feel this is the most important quote of the reading thus far. Although its just the beginning, looking back on it now I can see how this quote foreshadowed the personality and obstacles that the protagonist faces during the death of his mother. He shows strong uncertainty in this sentence, similar to that of his relationship with his mother. His uncertainty definitely comes through during his visit to his mothers casket, as he refuses to open up the casket and see her.
