Blanca

I think Blanca was so smart to leave Jean de Satigny- what a creep. She should have never gotten married to him in the first place. If I was her, I would have refused to go through with it. I have not read chapter nine yet, but I hope we do not see anymore of Jean de Satigny, but something tells me we will.1204237757

I completley agree with you, I felt so bad for her when she had to marry Jean de Satigny because he just didn't seem like a good guy. However, I was happy when they agreed that they wouldn't live a normal married life because she was still in love with Pedro Tercero Garcia. And I was even happier when she decided to leave and Clara welcomed her back in to her family's house.1205094477

I think that Blanca wanted to leave Jean since they first got married. However, she needed an excuse, so she said that Jean's anticts with the Indian mummies, the photo studio, and his increasing drug use, would be a bad influence on her unborn child. Jean's actions gave her the reason that she had been looking for to leave. 1205105059

Blanca definetly had every reason to leave Jean and the creepy servants. I think Blanca knew all along something was not quite right in the house. She was uncomfortable all the time in her own home. She did not trust the Indians because they made it obvious that they hated her. The servants made fun of Blanca behind her back and never answed when she spoke to them. The Indians even tried to make Blanca eat a lizard, and when the cook took the plate away she winked at Jean. Its like everyone was planning against Blanca. I think it is good that Blanca got out of the house as soon as possible.user:mto-ia
