Subject: IMHO she made the best choice she could with what she was feeling and dealing with in that moment. I can't imagine going through something like this alone and it seems to me you'd want the support of someone close and obviously Pat wouldn't be able to handle it. Maude...well I think naming the child/fetus made it much more personal and therefore harder to let go. Jamie will always be Pamela's friend of the soul and I can't imagine him not helping her, ever. As for Casey, I think his role is more than just Pamela's fear for his life in seeking her vindication. IMHO it's also the fear that seeing a child daily that isn't his would constantly remind him of his not being able to protect her and that would slowly eat at his sense of pride and honor.

  • I think Pamela did what was right for her, her sanity and her future with Casey. Jamie just seemed to be the natural choice to go through this with Pamela. I wonder if she didn't want Casey involved because he would feel the need to seek revenge on a murderous level that wouldn't be able to do it as "underground" as Jamie could and I wonder if she wanted to prevent Casey from having blood on his hands. I think it would affect Casey and Jamie differently. Naming the fetus - why not? It is a being and regardless of how it was created and perhaps it is part of the mourning and of saying goodbye and seeking some closure for her. I'm not sure I remember this correctly, but didn't Maude refer to a real person? I don't have the book in front of me. (NT) -- Tracy, 14:51:51 07/14/09 Tue
  • Yes, I believe Maud Gonne was one of W. B. Yeats' lovers for a time. (NT) -- Elaine, 15:26:10 07/14/09 Tue
