I think you favor Jane a bit too much. She's similar to Betty in a lot of ways; weak and resentful and fond of playing the victim. Jane could have easily said no to Roger at any time.
I agree Jane didn't have to give in to him and she could have just as surely said no to him when he wanted to go to her apartment to 'see' it. What else did she think he had in mind especially after the client's son showed interest in her. He got jealous and wanted to establish his masculinity, and she let do it.
So enjoyed your reflections on this Dark Shadows episode. The pot is definitely getting stirred for many of the charactere in one way or another. Waiting to see what more will be in store for Joan in the following episodes. Looking forward to next week and your thoughts. Paradice
it's michael ginsberg SON
ReplyDeleteI loled at the fact that you chose to write Alexis Bledel instead of her character's name because we all know shes not really acting.
