As well as the reoccurring passages about the "cold moth on Rahel's heart" I have noticed that we are constantly reminded of the time being "ten to two". This is the time that is painted on a wristwatch. It is also mentioned in a way that is notably important. such as being at the end of a chapter or placed as its own sentence. How is "ten to two" important?

This is kind of "out of topic" comment but you guys(American students) can see detail so well.(Of course it is obvious) But still or me, what I can see in this book are just big events and how those are connected with others, not the details as you just posted.
