"Good-by, Armand," she moaned.


Dose it mean that it was his last chance to return to his wife and he did not care about it?

This context is from the story named "Désirée 's Baby" by Kate Chopin


In this passage "fate" is equivalent to "God". By treating his wife cruelly, the subject believes he is somehow striking back at God's unfairness.

  • Many thanks for your answer. Concerning your answer , does it mean that he takes his last revenge from god ?and does "blow" means "revenge".? Thanks in advance. – Viser Hashemi Oct 28 '18 at 20:41
  • @ViserHashemi That's what the story says. You'll have to read on to see if it's really his "last". As for "blow" it usually refers to some kind of physical attack, so in this case it's used metaphorically. See merriam-webster.com/dictionary/blow noun (3) – Andrew Oct 28 '18 at 22:29
