Question

How did jurgis react to the news described in this reading passage?

Answer 1

Instead of reacting to Antana's death in an “expected” way (yelling or having an anger attack), Jurgis does so in a more particular way. He goes where Elzbieta and Marija are crying for their loss, and then he leaves the apartment. When he’s in the train station, he decides to escape from the city and become a free man, far from it.
