At first he just out of courtesy accepted Margaret’s invitation to come to her for a cup of coffee, and then he suddenly became a man thet is seen with Margaret everywhere.

Dixon started dating Margaret soon after he began teaching at the University.

After Margaret left the hospital, she lives in the house of the professor and his wife. Three weeks ago, she tried to commit suicide because of failed love affair. In the Welches’ hous Dixon meets Margaret, who also teaches at the university. And he gives him the task to prepare for the end of the semester a lecture on 'Good old England'. Once Welch invites Dixon to join him for the weekend and to help in organizing a musical evening. However, Dixon realizes the senselessness of this scientific study and notes himself that the article does not deserve anything, except a few strong and foul expressions. And even trying to smooth out the bad impression of his own person, engages in scientific work, and writes an article entitled 'The impact of economic factors on the development of shipbuilding handicraft in the period from 1450 to 1485'.

Therefore, mentally drawing caricatures of his colleagues and building funny faces, Dixon gives a considerable tribute to hypocrisy and tries to look like everyone else. It should be said that colleagues make on Dixon not the best impression as well. Then Dixon criticizes the work of one of the students, and then he finds out that this study was written with the blessing and on the advice of Professor Welch, who determines Dixon’s fate, for it is Welch to decide to remain Dixon to teach at the university or not. It does not take more than two days after the incident, as at the first meeting of the faculty, passing the chair of the archivist, he stumbles and knocks the chair just at the moment when the old man was about to sit on it. He has no guts to apologize - as always in such cases. Dixon should apologize, but he instead is watching the flight of the stone, and then slowly walks away. Coming out of the library, Dixon sees a small round pebble lying on the sidewalk, and he kicks it, and it, of course, meets on its way a knee of a professor. On the first days of his stay at the faculty, he manages to injure the Professor of English. But he makes a bad impression on his colleagues from the very beginning. He teaches there the first year and may not be credited to the constant position, and passes at the moment a probationary period. Jim Dixon, the protagonist of the novel, works as a teacher of history at English provincial university. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.
