Symbolism Of Dr. Rank In Nor's

Dr. Rank is a contradicting character in the story, He seems akin to the allegiant second man to Herald but the whole time he was praying and giving in to virtually all requests to Nora. As someone who works proximately with Herald, he kens a lot about the business he does. There is an unspoken rule that the information should be kept between Herald and himself, but the moment Nora asks he tells her what she wants to ken. He was this reverable man and then it was revealed that he was affected with a “sickness” his father passed on to him. This was remotely symbolic to his image being tainted because he was no longer visually perceived as the staunch venerable man he was believed to be. A sickness is visually perceived as an impuissance in

someone or a fatal intrusion. The sickness that Dr. Rand’s father was because of the culls he made in his life and most likely led to his demise. The fact that the sickness was not inside of Dr. Rand shows how Herald’s comment about parent’s wrongs affecting their children is right.
Nora visually perceives Dr.

Rank as nothing more than a companion. She made a comment saying that she relishes to be around those she does not dote. She finds it more facile to be around those who she feels she can be herself with. Her husband verbalizes with her in the manner of a father to his child like the way her father did. She dotes her father and her husband dearly, but they visually perceive her I the light of what they optate her to be and not who she is. Everyone else sanctions her to be herself such as Dr. Rank and Ms. Lindie who lets her express herself liberatingly without an exorbitant quantity of restrictions. Dr. Ranks last farewell was a dark scene, he kenned that he was going to die was marginally unnerving. His dying wish was that Herald did not optically discern him on his dying bed. This was more likely due to the culpability of lusting after his best friend wife most of their espousement. If anything, when someone is dying they would optate their close ones with them, so they get to cherish the time they have left with one another. In a way this was Dr. Ranks last way to redeem himself, he left on Herald as well as Nora so that they can relish each other’s company in his absence. He felt so censurable that he would rather face the unknown by himself as opposed to facing it with his best friend as well as his

crush.
