Although he has managed to change into a professor at an early age, a supposedly liberal younger man has uncared for growing his relationship expertise. Although he varieties an attachment to a younger girl whom he had been serving to with the duty of discovering work and even marries her, he's appalled to be taught that she is pregnant with one other man's baby. On the identical time, his political convictions have been put to the check, and he has successfully proven that he was not as critical about them as he (and others) thought he was. Dissatisfied in himself and in his life, he leaves his new bride and makes an attempt to seek out comfort in an affair.
