Brokebackjack and all others too, how is Lureen's love for Jack diminished or begins to die (if you think that is so as extinguishing),
--- End quote ---
why do you believe that she ever loved him at all? couldn't their marriage been a cynical arrangement?
Artiste:
Thanks brokeplex!
Arrangement for Lureen, yes! For Jack, yes too! Since, I consider them both bisexuals, or gay and lesbian... at this time of my understanding!
But cynical, please explain.
Hugs!!
brokeplex:
By cynical, I mean that the marriage of Lureen and Jack was not necessarily a marriage of two love birds.
I see it as more of a convenient arrangement for Jack. Jack had an interest in trying to conform to the heteronorming pressures of society, and Jack was also attracted to L.D.'s bank accounts.
For Lureen, since I believe that Bobby is not Jack's child, she needed a husband to legitimize the child and avoid censure for her and her family from a community that frowned on unwed mothers. I think that she also found Jack convenient because he was not in the mold of a domineering L.D. Newsome and unlikely to get any of L.D.'s favor or friendship.
So, Lureen held the reins on the whole operation, and Jack was just along for the "ride".
so to speak.

Wow, you make me smile brokeplex... very well said!!
I figure that Lureen was indeed pregnant when she captures Jack, she had analysed him maybe before seeing him where her hat falls?? I think so, do you or any of you?
I still too figure that Lureen knows that Jack was murdered but... she does something about that? What?
I figure that she is lesbian! SEE my thread on that... as there are token gestures about that too,
Hugs!

Why do you believe Lureen is a lesbian if you also believe that she has had sexual relationships with at least two men (Jack and whomever you believe impregnated her)? Those are contradictory things to believe about her character.
