Life Class Post 4

As the book progresses Tereasa and Neville's relationship becomes stronger. They begin dating but there is still always the fear of her husband coming back and hurting the both of them. Tereasa begins to recieve letters. She tells Neville of this and tells him that the letter's say, "He wants to kill me"(61). This is a very scary thought. A person who is suffering from an abusive relationship, is largely in danger and I fear for Tereasa's life. This quote reveals how Treseasa is not only a victem but also how she is, in a certain way, unattainable, because she will never fully be unattached by her old husband. This abusive husband is not only a danger to Tereasa and Neville but also seems to be an obstical in the way of furthing thier relationship. The narrorator states, "For the first time, she rebelled him"(67).  This reveal that the relationship between Tereasa and Neville is becoming strianed. Tereasa will never be fully reachable because of her dangerous attachment to her abusive husband. I hope that Teresea is able to get out of the realationship because I believe that Neville is a much kinder, and better fit. He will also not be an abusive pig!
