Why did Jacks' parents not go to his funeral ????

<< < (4/4)

Artiste:
Merci optom !

You say:
      Perhaps that is why Proulx leaves the means of death open to interpretation.It almost seems unimportant.
         
.........

Optom, may I say that Annie and / or the BM, to me, makes death very important in many ways that homophobia is destruction, and the opposite hope as in Ennis at the end of the BM movie is there too as he hugs the shirt-jacket !!
So, there is light, but dim !!

Let's not forget that there is hope for Ennis when he enters Mr. and Mrs. Twist house  and Jack's parents do help him adding light of love !!

Tragedies here, as in the murderings of gay men because they are gay, are noted in the BM movie, but too many viwwers disregard that unfortunately !!

Au revoir,
hugs! May there be no more gay bashing nor murders of gays in 2008 and forever !!

optom3:
Artiste, going off topic slightly,it would be nice if there were no more murders period of anyone.
I simply cannot understand why people have to so evil.I know that some of it could be down to psychosis and other mental illnesses.
The rest however,seem to be a combination of greed,hate.
I have had terrible things done to me in my life.Rape, mental and physical battering,massive theft by my business partner.I have had to listen to a scout master tell me of the probable rape of my already troubled son.I see the alleged perpetrator in Publix so many times.It would be so easy I promise you to allow myself to feel enough hatred to kill or seriously hurt the man, but I don't.

I have plenty of reasons to hate,yet I don't.

I am not a saint by any means.I have done some things I am not overly proud of.
I will never understand the sort of greed and hate that leads to murder of anyone.
I find the insane rantings of some Muslims dangerous and offensive,but still I would not kill.
If mothers who have had their child raped or murdered can forgive,then surely others can.
There can be no justification of murder,of anyone by anyone.
