Resonate: to relate harmoniously

Butler's story is about a person in a stagnate relationship trying so hard to be heard and loved. The relationship went on too long. The husband should have taken the cues in the beginning of the end, when his wife was looking away and they were drifting apart. He would have saved himself a lot of heartache.
I haven't decided whether or not it was needed or not, for him to heal. The husband did not want to let his love go. He, perhaps, needed that last encounter to show him nothing was ever going to change and he should have let things fly away a long time ago.
Either way it is beautifully articulated by his brave suicide.That emerald parrot with a yellow nape showed no cowardice as he took control of his fate. I respect the jealous husband. Even though he still loved her, still wanted her, still felt a need for her and knew there was a great barrier between him and the rest of his life, he flew. He had the self respect to choose the unknown over succumbing to a state of complacency that negates healthy and proper communication.
