Ahhhh… I love that picture. Sweet!
So, twisted old KE might be starting to give up on some of his hate. I loved the way Jack suggested this to Ennis. They have the good life, they’re successful and have loving children and grandchildren around them. KE is old and embittered and alone. Guess it didn’t help his bitterness to see that Ennis has all the things that KE doesn’t.
I don’t think for one moment that KE is going to have some sort of epiphany and suddenly be all acceptance and sweetness and light, but I do think that the party might help him to come round a little. He may make his peace with Ennis before he dies.
I’m sure that there is more rough territory ahead though, especially if KE heard the boys nocturnal activities.
Knowing the circumstances is one thing, hearing the lads in the throes of passion is quite another.
We don’t mind of course…
