About My Aunt

At first I wasn't able to connect the dots between the title of the story and what happened to be going on in the beginning of the story. In some way i guess i was expecting the story to be mainly about the aunt. However i felt like both the narrator and the aunt were very similar. The scene in the ending, "each of us feeling sorry for each other. In our separate ways. How could we not?" I can get that throughout the story, her and the aunt both live these lonely lives. The narrator just uses the boyfriend to cover up her void inside. It almost felt like the misery needs company, they both feel empty. its like there lives are so similar but, they can see it as so different. the way she speaks of her aunt justifying her lack of a good life, versus hers. At least she has the boyfriend.
