Can you understand why Esther killed Laurence? Can you accept that she did so?
No, I don't understand that she killed Laurence because of hatred. Of course, That Laurence and Father Paul hurt Esther's heart is fact. Father Paul said that her mother is uncivilized and her father is 'a dash of French somewhere, half-breed'. he also said that her family involved Esther is 'bad mixture'. In other words, he insulted her family just because her family is uncivilized.
I think that Father Paul's thinking is really wrong because I think all humans are equal. That Esther's mother is uncivilized and her father is half-breed is not justification for ignoring them. And I don't understand the reaction of Laurence about what Father Paul said. Laurence obviously loved Esther but he changed his mind when he heard Father Paul's insult about Esther and her family. Laurence should have contradicted Father Paul's claim If he loved her heartily. but he just accepted Father Paul's claim. Laurence's these behaviors made Esther more lonely and exhausted.
However, Esther's murder was very emotional behavior. Father Paul obviously ignores her family but he really sympathizes her and fonds of her. Also Laurence and Esther was friend. I think it makes sense Laurence and Esther ends their relationship but Esther's murder is absolutely wrong behavior. It's very merciless to Laurence.
Hi, I'm Minyong from P&P. It was interesting to see another point of view. I understood why she killed Laurence. The reason is that she didn't want to lose him to 'a white person.' I think it's acceptable that she did so.
