My
interpretation of the yellow note is that it has come to signify the cowardice and betrayal that
have now combined to destroy . He andboth discuss the fact that they betrayed each other, that
under the incredible torture they both gave up the other, that in the end "All you care
about is yourself." Because of this, the affection he felt for her, the only really true
thing in his life, has now become as cracked and yellow and empty as everything else around
him.
The "jeering" note serves to remind him of this, to remind him
of his deepest inner cowardice, that which betrayed all the hatred he felt for the party, all
the bravery he thought he possessed that allowed him to consider such things as helping the
proles to revolt, etc. The music is not just despicable or empty and tinny now, it is yellow
and it jeers at him, mocking him as a human being.
