we then see these overly positive adverbs the writer uses, to show that the man can never really escape from who he is, a western man even though he is in this foreign environment with his foreign wife and religion.
line 51 ' "And here is your hotel," she said. "I booked you in the Hilton." '
the Hilton is an international hotel, placed in most continents, famous and very western, luxurious.
line 60 'The hotel lobby was impressive, the cool tingling blast of the air-conditioner, music playing, an expanse of marble. He felt soothed somehow, more in control, after the bumpy ride.'
the use of this language makes him seem comforted that there is a little piece of home with him. the language use is very subtly showing that despite the exterior view that this man is embracing culture and religion , the use of language in the description of setting, shows that actually this is all destined to fail, just like it was when he was becoming a doctor.
