Reply To: What do you think about Reine-Marie’s feelings? Would you feel the same way?
You’re right Jane, this is a very interesting conversation! I think that you’re very right Nancy, in that it seems at odds that Reine-Marie can both appreciate Jeanne saving Armand and still feel rage towards her. I do think that humans can be very irrational in any number of ways. And as Jane has so eloquently expressed, forgiveness is not necessarily an entitlement or quid pro quo. The complexities of human behaviour and emotion are reflected beautifully in LP’s work in this way, aren’t they? And the theme of forgiveness is infinitely complex in how different people interpret it and how their interpretations frame their understanding and acceptance of other people’s behaviour.
