The main character asks someone's father for his daughter's hand in marriage, to which he receives a prompt refusal. The daughter probably felt for his plight and attempted to comfort him, only sparking more anger and frustration from the young man.
Though the woman may try, the man is inconsolable and refuses her sympathy (don't call me, don't write).
He doesn't want any of their shallow compassion and grows increasingly frustrated as they continue to be kind and loving.
I'm probably overthinking it, but that's what it means to me.
For me, this is a classic tale of rejection.
