Strazinsky is an interesting character, a secluded individual estranged from all at the penitentiary and the nemesis of the main character. The hatred Caine has for Strazinsky seems repaid in kind at first, only later does one learn that such an assumption is incorrect. What makes Strazinsky a very interesting character, is the fact that he throughout the story remains an enigma to all. After the journey to the funeral, none is more confused than Caine. The inner machinations of this individual are carefully guarded from all unwanted trespassers -much like it is the case with Caine's character. So, while the two are separated by several obvious differences, they also share certain similarities. .
The ride to the funeral, and the funeral itself, are the real turning points of the story. The interesting part of the story occurs, when Strazinsky begins to speak to Caine about how he understands the sorrow he must be feeling; Strazinsky even reveals that his mother passed away only recently, and that the ensuing time had brought with it pain, which had proved difficult to handle. Living a withdrawn existence is probably not a thing Strazinsky enjoys, and he evidently finds neither joy nor pleasure in his status as a recluse. So, in spite of his willing isolation, it is my guess that the daunting prospect of letting his emotions eat him up from the inside, is very much unwanted. .
Caine seems surprised to see Strazinsky suddenly behaving in a caring and understanding way. But the already existing sense of surprise is surpassed by the chock he feels, when Strazinsky offers to uncuff Caine before entering the funeral, using the explanation that no one should be forced to face a loved one for the final time in such a state. .
The ending of the story is interesting, since it shows an enormous chasm between Caine and his family. He realises that he has practically ceased being a part of the family, and that the only real thing, which he and his family have in common, is the vast grief they share over the death of Nana, his grandmother.
