Thank you very much for the in-depth comment, @blueeyes8960,

I perceive literature as a medium that any and all can interpret differently.

The part with the small child with a glass of whisky came come under many different categories of interpretation, it depends on how one sees it.

Some would see a grown man who is still seen as immature (like a child), and others would see a child who was overwhelmed by his surroundings and was encouraged to drink at a young age.

There are various ways of interpretation, but it is up to the reader.

Thank you again for the nice comment :D
