The following 25 pages of Carlos R. Zafon's novel, The Shadow of the Wind, focus on Daniel's emotional and physical growth. After four or more years, Daniel continues to visit Clara whether to read to her or simply to chat. With time, Daniel gains the confidence of Barcelo, and the acceptance of Bernarda, the housekeeper. Yet, as with time, Daniel notices that Clara no longer enjoys his company like before, but instead acts cold towards him and tries to evade him. Sempere began to disapprove of Daniel' s visits to Clara, and proclaimed that Daniel should be spending more time with kids his age, and not older females, "women." Daniel does not to accept what his father said, despite Clara's noticeable approach to her music instructor Adrian Neri. Daniel's lust towards Clara becomes noticeable by both Bernarda and Barcelo.

i think Clara's cold attitude toward Daniel will definitely affect him. Daniel has a crush on Clara and her acting cold will only hurt him. i think maybe this can be considered a life lesson. sometimes it's better to be in a relationship with someone closer to your age. they will have more in common with you and have similar life experiences.
