As I was reading I first thought that Prue was the mothers second daughter, and thought it was strange that the mother always took the side of Prue instead of Aileen. However, after discussing with the class I realized that Prue was actually the mothers lesbian lover. Immediately I thought that the mother probably left Washington because of the comments other people would have, being that she was once married to a man and now is dating a female. She now lives in a lavish home which seems to secluded, but she loves it because she is happy being away from people's comments about her love life. I still found it strange that the mother was still choosing Prue over her own daughter, telling her to leave the home even though Prue seemed to be instigating some of the fights with aileen. It becomes clear that Prue is more than just a guest being that instead of asking Prue to leave, she tells her own daughter to leave in order to save her girlfriend.
Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 220 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing/reading on a weekly basis in an informal forum.
I agree I was a bit confused that the prue was actually the lesbian lover because I also thought it was her daughter but I do understand why she was defending prue because it was her first out of the closet relationship and she wanted to make it work so bad that she threw away her daughter because she wasn't Ganna Ben around for long but her girlfriend was
