No one to tell

As I have been reading through the book Tell No One by Harlan Coben I have encountered various different character traits within the main character, Dr. Beck. As the book starts off Dr. Beck's diction shows that he is a bit frustrated, irritated, and not so fond of his relationship with his wife Elizabeth. The couple has been married for less than a year but they have been dating since the age of seven.  In his writing, Coben is almost trying to portray that Dr. Beck is at a climax where he is tired of this relationship yet at the same time not ready to leave it, in other words Dr. Beck is stuck in the middle of this situation. In addition, I found that on the night of their anniversary, Dr. Beck was at a point where he was tired of these many traditions carried on since he was the age of seven. The setting shows that Dr. Beck saw all these traditions as repetitive verses Elizabeth who saw these traditions important to their relationship.
As the story takes a turn and Dr. Beck loses his wife Elizabeth his character changes. Eight years later in the book and the diction of Dr. Beck comes out to show that he is lost without his wife. Within these eight years Dr. Beck realizes the place Elizabeth held in his life and what was the importance of this place. Dr. Beck does move in with his sick grandpa after the death of Elizabeth and his behavior and character traits change as he learns to accept he is on his own and tries to settle down. Eventually Dr. Beck begins to miss his wife and even becomes a little depressed ,as his life takes many turns. Dr. Beck is surrounded by many patients, family members, and friends within the first few chapters, yet he has no one to tell. How can you tell no one when there is no one to tell?
Dr. Beck's life brings another adventure when he receives an email containing information pertaining to his and Elizabeth's relationship. The information in the email leads Dr. Beck to think that there is more trouble behind the incident that happened with Elizabeth and her murder. As more clues come about Dr. Beck's character comes out to show a brave and dedicated character verses the hopeless and unemotional character. Just in a few chapters of the book I have encountered many characters within the main character, Dr. Beck.
