Blue Angel

In this scene from pages 185-190, It is the class after Ted and Angela had sex, and all of a sudden Angela asks Ted if he can show his agent Len her work that she’s showed him, and there’s growing suspicion in Swensen’s mind as to wether or not she’s simply asking for a favor, or if she’s using him for his links and connections to benefit her. As mentioned in the book, it appears to be that Angela could possibly be blackmailing him in favor for rewarding herself. As the book goes on, There’s growing suspicion and guilt by Swenson that his life is recked and ruined. It’s very ironic how in Angela’s novel there’s intimacy between a teacher and a student just how it’s going in real life for Swensen and Angela, and if Swensen shows his agent it could lead to suspicion and question to wether or not he’s sleeping with Angela, as it occurs later on in the book.
