This is a valid assertion. Louise was under some pressure considering that her husband had just died and there was the company that was on the verge of collapsing also. However, I still believe that her attitude was largely affected by the fact that she did not trust Larry fully.Radiant3 wrote: ↑25 Apr 2019, 14:50 I think Louise did feel remorse after his death but had to put aside the full impact of the situation for the time being. She had to handle the responsibilities regarding her company and what the future held for her and her employees. There was also the inner conflict between her sadness about his death and her still unresolved anger towards Larry.

I agree. Grieving is a process and it's not the same for everyone. Everyone has a different way of acting and reacting while grieving. Always determined on how the relationship worked. Not everyone will fall into depression immediately or stop smiling/laughing for a while.evraealtana wrote: ↑03 Apr 2019, 18:27 I don't think her lack of "sufficient" grief disqualifies her as a deep, meaningful character. Everyone grieves differently from one another, and differently for different losses. If she and Larry had grown apart, as it seemed that they had, then she may have felt little to nothing for him by the end of it, in which case her reaction was more to do with guilt over his accident than mourning over his loss. I don't think it's fair to tell someone how they ought to behave in response to a loss, since it's so dependent on the inner workings of the particular relationship.

It's a possibility. I think she had a lot to feel at the moment, maybe thinking of the company's future. In the grieving process, a lot can happen. She may show emotionless at the beginning, but time makes you feel the absence of a person. Even if the relationship wasn't in its best season.
