I've been doing these wrong the whole time, so i have redone them, and i think they are right now!
“It was only a telephone number, but Shukumar knew it was the hospital. When he returned to Boston it was over. The baby had been born dead.”
This is an important phrase from the story because it explains everything the story is about. The entire story is about how much the child had changed Shoba, Shukumar’s wife, and how she was never the same after the incident. Within these lines, the entire basis for the story is given and everything becomes clear. Also, in the story, Shukumar seems almost numb to the death, as if it didn’t affect him at all. He almost seems angry at his wife for feeling the way she does, and in this quote, the level of coldness and lack of emotion within him shows through the way the words come out without any affection at all; as if it meant nothing to him.
