How was Derry's scarred face the cause of his pessimism in life ?
Dear Student.
Derry was a teenage boy with a pessimistic and cynical attitude towards life. He was reserved and withdrawn because of the way society had treated him. His face had been disfigured by acid and that was the reason why he avoided the company of others because he thought of himself as a monstrosity. He chose to be lonely because he was sick of the insensitivity of the people around him. He believed that no one, including his mother, loved him. He thought that his mother showed love because it was her duty rather than her will to love him. Derry's parents feared that he would not be able to live if they died because of his deformities which would get the better of him. Derry had come to the conclusion that since his physicality caused repulsion in others, the world would never accept him and so he had developed this attitude of pessimism. He stayed away from others and immersed himself in his cocoon of misery.
We hope that this answer solves your query.
Regards.
