Grant’s infidelities symbolize the vicissitudes of Grant and Fiona’s relationship. About 30 years after Grant and Fiona became married, Grant had several affairs with female students of his. He eventually confessed this to Fiona, and instead of separating, they recommitted themselves to their marriage. These events thusly draw the marital challenges of the main narrative in starker relief.
