Because he felt that he deserved Alfred&#x27;s good fortune at being born into a wealthy family, Thomas conceives the idea that he and Alfred were switched at birth, and he can&#x27;t help seeing that his unhappiness should be Alfred&#x27;s, from the loss of his sister to his inability to have a relationship with the woman Evelyne.
