Leaf Storm

He is a doctor. And is lonely. He does not work, nor talk to anyone, nor goes out anywhere. He is holed up in his room. 

He is a  the doctor whose last rites were to be performed by a colonel in the story "Leaf storm" by Gabriel Marquez.

Do you empathize with him? He asks Meme- the woman he is living with,  to abort their child. He is not willing to marry her. He is unwilling to treat the patients even in the times of crisis. 

But the Colonel empathizes with him and antagonizes the whole village to give a decent burial to this man. 

The entire story revolves around the dead body of a man in a dead town. 

So is this story also tells us that "we have the rights only for our actions, not its fruits"?
