A story of regret and sorrow, Long, Long After School also embraces the irony of the narrator's personal growth. As a child, the narrator was a self-indulged individual, caring only about the events that directly involved him. Growing up, he seemed to overcome these shortcomings to become a pillar of the community. However, this facade is revealed with only one encounter with his past. The narrator is an insensitive, patronizing and self-important person, who is unaware of his character flaws until his encounter with Wes gives him sudden insight into his own character flaws. The narrator's insensitivity is demonstrated through his relationship with the other characters. He shows virtually no feelings for Miss Tretheway. When he learned of her death, he showed no signs of regret or sorrow. Secondly, he didn't take the time to notice her reaction when other teachers talked about upcoming dances.
