"editha" by william dean howells is a story about characters who ritualistically follow the popular beliefs and norms of society even though they may be ignorant and emotionally distanced from actual facts and circumstances. which two lines in the excerpt suggest this character trait?

Two lines from “Editha” suggest his trait are:

“..he had business out at Davenport, and he said he could just as well go then as any other time.”

“...and he went with her to the little country town where George's mother lived in a little house on the edge of the illimita"

Hope this helps

it's like watching a fable, it's not really about the animals but rather it has a meaning that is understood by us and that is implicit, not explicitly said. implicit ideas are common and are used in almost all works of art, from writing to painting to sculpting.

sorry but whats the question?
