i guess i would add an extra comment on the flashback – an obvious choice to connect to the character; he is so happy, then. It’s an easy way for author to emphasise current disaffected situation? In creative story writing, i’ve been suggesting to students that they adda flashback for precisely this reason – provide some info for audience as to why the character might be feeling the way they do now.
Nice one. Love the detailed analysis. It is wonderful isn’t it to go to such depths in a piece.

Thanks. It’s only notes for Q3 but interesting to see what you can pick out.
