Blue Angel Response

This scene is where Swenson questions the ends that Angela is chasing, whether she is intimately interested in him or if she just wants to use him, or both. Swenson also speaks about the entirety of his relationship and how someone would react to it. He compares it to that of a criminal, which foreshadows that he might be interrogated or something in the future. Furthermore, Swenson even expresses disgust and guilt as he speaks of it, which shows his work ethic was cometely incorrect in the way he’s maintained himself. If he did not feel strongly towards Angela, he would not have to be reluctant and careful in how he spoke to Magda. I believe that he’s realized that he’s being baited by Angela but it’s too late as she already has Swenson wrapped around her finger. He also recalls what her mother said, comparing him to the guys she would fawn over and then completely ignore.
