4. Gogol wants to go to Italy with his wife.
5. Gogol found out that his wife was having an affair.

Four questions I have
1. Will Gogol ever get married again?
2. Does Gogol ever have children?

Three Vocabularies
1. Incestuous pg 236:
2. Clandestine pg 250: underground, secret
3. Lucrative pg 254: Well paid, worthwhile
Two literally elements
1. The falling action I think is Gogol and Moushumi getting married.
2. “He felt the chill of her secrecy, numbing him, like a poison spreading quickly through his veins.” Pg 282. This is a simile. Gogol just found out that his wife was having an affair with him.
One sentence Summary
1. Gogol learns to appreciate his name a lot more and also begins to appreciate the time that he spends with family.
