Part I: Section 29 Summary

Behrani purchases wood glue, more "for sale" signs mounted on stakes, and a large metal bar for pounding them into the ground. When he sees Kathy's car, he bolts from his own while Nadi screams protests, and then he grabs Kathy, moves her off the porch to her car, squeezes her forearms, and shakes her until she cries. He wants to kill her but instead shoves her into her car and tells her that she is nothing, unworthy even to raise her eyes to him.

Part I: Section 29 Analysis

Behrani's behavior is in stark contrast to that of the two women in the previous chapter.
