Long Answer

1. Over the course of the novel, Daniel encounters the hard realities of Franco’s Spain; as a result, he gradually matures. He has to let go of childishly naive ideas such as "love can overcome any obstacle” and “justice always prevails.” (Various chapters)

2. Both Daniel and Nick, as young men, wanted to break away from their fathers’ examples and strike out on very different paths than those their fathers had taken. As older men, they realize that, ironically, they have both ended up following in their fathers’ footsteps, at least in their careers. (Various chapters)
