Alma means soul in Spanish.

Her maiden name:

Alma Beers.
Alma bears Ennis cheating on her
Alma bears living in financial difficult conditions.
Alma bears Ennis running off with Jack several times a year.
Alma bears missing social activities (like the church social).
Alma bears anal sex.
Alma bears a lot for a long time.

Till she can't bear it anymore and divorces Ennis.

I knew about "soul" but I'd never made the "Beers" and "bears" connection.  I especially like the way you structured that. Thanks, Chrissi!

Gabreya:
Did anyone analyze Laureen's last name, 'Newesome', yet? To me, the name seemed to sort of symbolize how she seem like a 'new' woman in her time.

What do you guys think?
