Isolation: The Connection Between Singer And Antonopoulos

Throughout the story we see that Singer really doesn't have many friends. Or for that matter any friends at all besides Antonopoulos. Almost every situation we see him in, he has trouble communicating with others besides Antonopoulos. I think that Singer has a lot of build up feelings that he doesn't really show. Either because he can’t due to being deaf and mute, or because he’s not good at opening up. I believe that both are the causes. Even when he had Antonopoulos, he couldn’t really talk or rather communicate with him because of the person that Antonopoulos is. The problems that he faces he keeps to himself and has really no outlet. His problems just build and destroy him inside even if on the outside, to the rest of the word he seems fine.
But for Singer specifically it is clear. When Antonopoulos passes he has an opportunity to make friends and connect with the others. I think that because he does not really open up with others. All throughout the story he had many different chances to befriend them or have some sort of loser connection with them. I believe that Singer did try though but because of him being deaf and mute it's hard for him to truly connect with others. After time and time again, if I tried to connect with others and was unable to I would feel extremely isolated as well. I think That Singer always felt extremely disconnected to the rest of the world. With Antonopoulos around I fell that he felt like he was apart of something. He had a real true connection with him. We don’t get a lot of information about his past but Antonopoulos be his first and only real connection with someone else like
