http://louisev.livejournal.com/91164.html "Chapter 61: Woman Trouble"
--- End quote ---
This was a delightful and much anticipated chapter!
In light of it I want to consider a little of Alfred Kinsey's theory of sexuality. He developed a scale of 0 to 6, where 0 was 100 percent heterosexual and 6 was 100 percent homosexual. Zeros and sixes are relatively rare. Most of us fall somewhere between one and five. On this scale it would seem that Dupree is a one or a two, Ennis is a four or five, and Ellery is a five or six.
What do y'all think?

Louise, How wonderful. You sure know this sex thing. I have learned more these last few weeks than I ever did before. You are changing my life. I'm still bashful like Ennis but I am coming out of it much like Ennis is. As Ennis goes, so I go!

I'd put Ellery definitely as an almost 6, just based on what I know of him so far. Ennis to me is closer to 5 than 4, even though I don't think he was ever really interested in women, on the whole. I think the jury is still out on Dupree, but I'd hazard to guess he's more than iust a little curious. He reminds me of a friend of mine, who always remarks about being 15% gay. So I'd put Dupree around a 1 or 2 as well.

I'd say Dupree is 1, Ennis and Ellery are 6. Ennis had no real interest in women except to hide his true self.

I'd put Ellery as a 6, Ennis a 5, and Dupree a 2 or 3.
