The
proper solution for the problem would be for the two people to get married and have the baby.
Evidently they are not married at the time of the story. The man is selfish and afraid of giving
up his freedom and taking on the responsibility of supporting a wife and child. This sort of
selfishness is not at all uncommon among males. There is a similar situation in Theodore
Dreiser's great novel AN AMERICANwhich the hero tries to resolve by committing a murder. There
is another similar situation in William Faulkner's THE WILD PALMS.
