Winter dreams is like the backstory of the Great Gatsby, Dexter meets Judy (Daisy), doesn’t get to marry her, she’s like old money and he’s not. Then he goes to the war, and comes back and finds out she’s married.
I think it’s also a warning on chasing dreams, that some dreams are not worth it.

Absolution is a bit hard to understand, but what I got out of it is that Rudolph Miller realizes that there’s a difference between God and his imagination, and it seems to me that religion has lost its power, especially with the collapse of the priest at the end.

The Baby Party was a funny story. I liked how the two dads just fought until they were out of breath and then shook hands like nothing happened.

I don’t really feel bad for Anson but he is a tragic figure. He’s fading while everyone around him is living life to their fullest. His ego is holding him back from ever settling down and marrying — the ending just shows that Anson will keep “dissipating” and partying.
