Here are my views about the following questions.
Tony Webster: first person narrator of the novel who narrate the whole story from his point of view. And at the beginning of the novel he said that; “I remember, in no particular order” the line itself says that narrator is unreliable. As the novel is about memories and youthful days so whatever narrator told us is his views and his thoughts so how far can we rely on the narrator even he himself isn’t clear in so many things so we can say that he is unreliable narrator.
It can also be difficult to reconcile Veronica’s behavior throughout the second half of the book. But I found her the character who suddenly made the most sense upon finishing. Veronica, who seems to Tony to be a manipulator, turns out to be if not victimized, then certainly betrayed by nearly everyone else. Adrian’s suicide is shocking for Tony as well as us also because Tony describe him as philosopher among them, even we can apply existentialism here because; “Adrian had read Camus and Nietzsche” and they both are existentialist, as we studied earlier that “it is a movement and philosophy which stresses the importance of human experience and says that everyone is responsible for the result of their own actions.” and may be that affect Adrian for commit suicide. But we never came to know the truth behind Adrian’s suicide and narrator never told us so we only interpret our own way.
Character of Veronica is very complicated from the beginning of the novel, her character is described form the point of view of Tony, whatever he told to us about Veronica is his way of looking towards Veronica may be she is different from that but we surely said that she is more confident than Tony. And at the end of the novel Veronica suddenly emerges as an invisible way at that time we came to know that what Veronica is. According to me Veronica is haughty and sacrificial.
The novel is deeply philosophical, there is no ending but we can interpret it our own way. We can say that there is end of sense, end also refereed old age (Tony) and end of so many things.
