A Separate Peace Quote Analysis

Quote: "Only Phineas failed to see what was so depressing. Just as there was no war in his philosophy, there was also no dreary weather."(128)

Significance:

This quote shows that although Phineas has changed a bit, he is still for the most part his usual self. No matter how hard things are, he keeps a positive outlook on life, or at least demonstrates one. So, either he is naturally happy, or he cares enough about those around him to not add to the displeasure.

Question: Is Phineas just putting on an act?
