Not just that, but he is angry that he didn't have what he perceived others at Yale had. A fish out of water angry that comes from knowing he has brain power like them but is missing some of the polish that he believes makes them look down on him.

I think you may have put your finger on what made him angry -- and it is of course based in the fact that he is very very bright but wasn't born to wealth. He needs to get over himself. And he will never be able to explain his 180 degree flip flop (I do wonder how his wife remains with him).

I remember that part тАФ the formal meal where he knew nothing about the utensil placement and had no clue. So much anger neglecting the fact that most kids at any Ivy wouldnтАЩt have known what to do either.
