About This Quote

He understood the code of his social class enough to affect an air of indifference about life. This is an example of a person who was able to mimic the behavior of others, but not actually understand the real meaning of what was going on. For example, he might put on a fake smile at social functions, but never actually meant it. This is called “acting” or “putting on an act.”
