Outside Reading #5

Well, in a nut shell the ending goes kind of like this…
Nina has feelings for Patrick, but feels an obligation to stay with Caleb for Nathanial and she really does love Caleb. Caleb continues to think about how he is a coward for not killing the priest who he though molested his son, and when he finds out that the real molester is still out there he feels he must kill him and does! Caleb finds Father Gwynne in New Orleans and poisons him. And the worst part about it is we don’t know the end result of Nina’s case. Will she go to jail or be innocent under reason of insanity?
I hate books that end like this to be frank. This is a double whammy. One, Caleb does something to complicate things by killing the other priest, and two, we don’t know how Nina is going to end up in terms of her sentence. Ahhhhhhhh!!! However, the theme that society makes rules for a reason is very present. When this couple finds out their son is molested they both have rash feelings at first, and they both eventually turn these feelings in to action, an action that is murder. And even though these two believed they were bettering society and protecting their son by getting a pedophile of the streets, actually more like out of the church, the fact is murder is very wrong and they didn’t accomplish squat.
