The narrator is confused because it its unclear why does he live in a shabby home.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The civilian that the author is talking about in the passage had been retired from the service of the Hussars at a very young age of thirty five. Even though he settled in a wretched and a little village, still the life style he had was extravagant.
It was not clear to the people living in the surroundings that why was he living in such a shabby place. At his home, champagne flowed like water and the officers of high post of the regiment used to come for dinner. Even after this, he always used to be dressed shabbily so it was very confusing for the people living in the surroundings.
He is using a like/as example with "my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light" and if he is using the suns light as a metaphorical thing and the light represents purity or intelligence then he is saying he is very logical and knows what is going on. He knows what he stands for and as he stated "will pursue his principles unto death" he is willing to die for what he believes in....i hope this helped

The answer is: there is an eternal battle between good and evil.
In the Iroquois myth "The World on Turtle's Back," the right -handed twin accuses the left-handed twin of killing their mother, thus representing good and evil. However, the right-handed twin eventually becomes angry and resentful of the left-handed twin. As a consequence, the Iroquois believe that human nature possesses two different sides.
