HEAT

1.

- Olivia: English wife of Douglas, just moved to India some weeks ago

- Douglas: husband, probably English, has been living in India for a long time

They are rich, live in a mansion, have servants. Douglas could be working for the British government.

They are sitting in the shade on their balcony, just finished breakfast.

Olivia is complaining about her life (uneventful), she is not feeling home in India yet, is not used to the environment. Douglas wants her to get involved in social life.

Oliva’s uncomfortable feeling is considered to be a result of the heat and her not being used to it.

I think heat can have that effect on people and their emotions, because the body gets inactive and it feels as if the slightest movement can cause a great strenousness.

Yes, I did experience this phenomen once before and I could feel that the physical discomfort was transmitted to the  nerves. I got annoyed by random situations and felt very troubled and angry.
