I think she cared deeply and was hurt at the thought of his infidelity. She was shattered when she thought that her ill thoughts towards him brought him to his end. it's hard to disbelieve something that one has long believed in. So I get the way she did not believe her brother or even Suzie herself when they explained the real situation. I don't think she was prepping for a new relationship after the money came. She was staying in character as the strong woman she was.CatInTheHat wrote: ↑05 Apr 2019, 15:06This! When others are saying she didn't love him or care, all I can think is, "she cared!" Someone who doesn't care just moves on and does what they need to do get out of the marriage.

To be fair, though, Larry should have been more upfront with Louise and tried to fix their relationship. They both should have been less selfish and more communicative.

I think the feelings of betrayal for Louise stemmed from unyielding love and thinking Larry had fallen out of Love with her. For Larry his acts of looking for the documents in order to save the business and give Louise a better life proves his love (despite being accused of infidelity)Kajori50 wrote: ↑01 Apr 2019, 15:23 From the very beginning of the book, Louise had been suspecting Larry of infidelity. She evwn thought of cheating. Even after his death, she kept thinking that he cheated. Soon after his death, she came to know that Larry had always been faithful to her. In fact, he had been talking to the lawyer to dredge up some sort of bequest. When Louise came to know this, she was sad only for a short time. She became elated to find that Larry's death had left her with a lot of money with which she could pay off the mortgage, and give the crew their paychecks.
What do you think about her true feelings for Larry? Do share your thoughts.
This is also related to the issue of whether or not Larry had seen the insurance policy and refused to reveal this in order to give Louise a better life and save their company. (Was Larry's accident a lie?)

Maybe, that was the case. But, according to me, that still doesn't explain her nonchalance after his death. There should have been some level of affection, or at least a little bit of guilt.evraealtana wrote: ↑02 Apr 2019, 20:15 I felt that the love had died in their marriage, that they weren't really right for each other anymore and that she resented him for it. Even though she was angry over his supposed affair, it almost felt like she was in some way relieved, or at least vindicated - something like "I knew he was a terrible person! I just knew it!". She seemed to be tired, and looking for a way out.
