The story explores sibling rivalry, the effects of unexpected wealth on relationships and the tensions that jealousy creates within a family. The story begins with a fishing trip where tensions between the brothers are apparent. When a family friend leaves his entire fortune to Jean, Pierre's jealousy and suspicions grow, and he begins to doubt his mother's loyalty and his brother's legitimacy. Pierre's thoughts become consumed by his brother's success, and he roams the seaport alone.
The discussion was wide ranging and interesting. It seemed that no one respected the father. The distructive nature of jealousy and familial relationships.
