Whose fault is it that the baby died in the short story, “The Lamp at Noon”? Support your reasoning with evidence from the text in your body paragraphs.

There are a lot of socio-economic reasons for this tragedy but I think a better marriage might might have saved the baby. The tension beneath Ellen and Paul's superficial communication quickly erupts into an argument over their incompatible visions of the future. Unable to counter Ellen's prediction that the soil will never become fertile, Paul relies on an ad hominem attack of Ellen's privileged upbringing. Paul leaves the dispute unresolved; only when alone does he entertain Ellen's opinion. Though Paul ultimately concludes that Ellen's concern is legitimate, he nonetheless cannot give up his defense of the land. The story ends with her admitting to Paul that he was right about the storm dying down; Paul meanwhile understands that Ellen had been right about everything else, but he is shocked into speechlessness and cannot tell her.
