So I finished "Loving Frank" and needless to say, I was completely SHOCKED at the end! Everyone referred to Mamah as a tragic figure so I guessed something bad had to happen to her but to be killed in such a gruesome way and with her kids was just beyond anything I could have ever guessed!
It made it all the worse because it's real. Its so easy to read a novel like that and dismiss the tragedy as fiction but its a whole new level when you think about the fact that it was a real life that was ended and on the cusp of really discovering herself and her own talents.
Living with Frank had to be a trial (especcially that whole not paying this bills thing) but I guess we all know that you take the good with the bad when you are in a relationship like that and for what its worth, I'm glad that they ended on a good note with each other.
Discussion Question:
One of Ellen Key’s beliefs was that motherhood should be recompensed by the state. Do you think an idea like this could ever catch on in America? Why or why not?
