The portrait of William Stoner is bereft of joy, a movement of his life from stage to stage, and into the end of his life, you hope that he can find some happiness like the love he had with Katherine, but by the end, his reflection ties the entire novel and it's message together, and it's so, so, soul-wrenching. Definitely need a cigarette after this.
