This passage aids the reader in describing Watson as a very sarcastic guy, with the line, “No,indeed!” I could easily link this text in a comparison of

The Devil in the White City is about a killer’s mentality and mindset being bought to justice. “It’s a Question…” is about researchers who ultimately determine whether humans “have a basically good nature that is corrupted by society, or a basically bad nature that is kept in check by society.

It is evident that much of the characters in the novel do not marry because they have found their true companion. Instead, the text becomes a story about the “failed mutuality” (Tanner 10) of most couples.
