A turning point comes when Malachy drinks away the baby’s money. This marks the first time Frank expresses real anger about his father’s staggering irresponsibility. Although he thinks of sitting by his father before the fire and hearing stories, and although he realizes that when Malachy drinks he is somehow looking for his dead children, Frank also “rages inside,” and he wants to run into the bar and kick his father. Frank himself recognizes this anger as a turning point, saying, “[I]t will be different now.” Another theme of this chapter is storytelling. It is now that Frank discovers the deliciousness of stories, and fiction bursts into bloom like a garden with all varieties of flowers: a line of Shakespeare, a history of England, a poem read from a book, a pub song, articles in the newspaper, Irish history, social satires by P. G. Wodehouse, fantastical stories from Malachy, and a sharp and touching essay by Frank.
