Question

In what way is the party in the apartment different from the dinner at the buchanan's? in what way is it similar?

Answer 1

The party in the apartment was different from the dinner at the Buchanan's because the apartment party was a fun drunken affair while at the house it was far more elegant and refined, very toned down. It is similar because there is a lot of unhappiness at both parties, and the other woman is mentioned at both parties.
