This week in class we are finishing Ethan Frome and i gotta say i feel really bad for Zeena because she loves Ethan however after seeing Mattie he no longer feels quite the same towards her. What i admire about Zeena is that she knew her husband and cousin were flirting behind her back, but after the accident she still took both of them in and cared for them until she was no longer able to. However i can't even imagine how hard it must be for Ethan to be married to the wrong woman? So in that way i feel bad for him too. A few things I wonder though, how come Ethan, and Mattie didn't try to commit suicide some other way? Why crash the sled? I also can't imagine how hard it had to be for Zeena to watch her husband slowly slip away to a person whom she evnied so deeply. What i was wondering about her is that why she let Ethan drive Mattie to the station? I mean i know it's because he argued for her to let him but she still could have put her foot down on the matter. I also wonder why she didn't demand that if he be the one to drive Mattie to the station than she must go with as well?
