The story demonstrates a metaphor when Henry observes the way his family reacts to Confido and compares them to a funeral home. Henry bursts through the door after he gets home from work and says “the breadwinner’s home,” (18) and just moments after states “it’s like a funeral parlor” (19). It is at this moment that Henry’s opinion about the effects Confido has on others changes and he metaphorically describes the scene of their reactions to a funeral home. Henry’s opinion of Confido changes instantly when he understands how disgusting Confido truly is after seeing his family’s upset reaction and decides that being rich does not matter
