In Chapter Eleven, the author presents an interesting conversation between father and daughter. David sees his own actions at the university being driven from a deep passion that lies within all men, and says that he would rather not live than be forced to live with passion. Lucy, on the other hand, just sees this as her father's stubbornness and stupidity, and does not understand how he's willing to give up his life and his job for the cause of passion. This conversation is a foreshadowing of the gruesome event that's about to occur on the farm.
