If he could articulate it, how would Talmadge define his relationship to Della? Do you think he thought of himself as Della's father? What about Angelene? Though he adored Angelene, "the emotion - the severity of it - also made him afraid." What was the root of Talmadge's fear? Why can love be simultaneously wondrous and terrifying?
