Well than, what a rather twisted reading! After the fox is killed, the readers start to see the REAL showdown in this said “love triangle” that is going on. To think that the entire time the women had to constantly endure being rather irritated with the fox animal, that fellow Henry managed to drive them apart. He did not have the same fate as the poor animal did, however, he made it happen for the robust Nellie March! It seems as though the author Lawrence brought Henry into the said “relationship” with March and Branford because of how…well…wrong this said “relationship” is to be rather honest. It was as if Henry were supposed to “fix” Jill of her romantic relationship with Nellie. At first, Henry wanted Jill so that he could have his old home back. Then, all of a sudden he just “wanted” her for himself. Although if I might add, it seemed as though this Jill creature did not know what she wanted with either person! She writes him a letter saying she shall not marry him and that she is fond of her dear Nellie, then as soon as her dear Nellie is killed, she stays with him and marries him, yet, she still does not know what she wants! Everything she answers to was “I don’t know”! Even in the very end she is rather unsure as to what should happen whilst in Canada with Henry. I must say, something tells me that Henry will be in a life full of misery with this poor creature Jill. I don’t believe even HE actually knows why he wants her in his life. However, it seems as though it all became a game for the fellow Henry and this Jill creature was the prize “He had won her” was written as he watched her cry over her dead lover. Neither Nellie nor Henry are right for the poor lady Jill. Jill is used to having decisions made for her it seems. It also seems as though because she is used to having decisions made for her that all she does is settle for not being alone, which is why she is never sure of anything in life. Nellie was a “safe” place for Jill, Henry wanted to control Jill. I must say, all three individuals were rather troublesome.
