Jhole - I've been trying to put his death behind me.
IMO, it really was behind her in her mind. She was totally through with the situation and on to something and someone new.:furious:
OMG. How did this detective sit through this. He needs to be canonized.
The reality quote is just too much.
It is much, much harder for prisoners to get on medication here in the states. I have firsthand knowledge of this because my law partner i a criminal defense attorney and I observe what happens with some of his mentally ill or even physically ill clients who are locked up.
This question came up repeatedly during the casey athony trial. People simply could not believe that she could sit there at hewr murder trial so calmly without the benefit of medication. Well, why not? She sat there so calmly as the detectives confronted her with her lies about her obviously dead child.
Same in this case. jodi shows some signs of internal nervousness during the interrogation, but for the most part, she's pretty cool. Cool as a cucumber. Most people would be pooping their pants. Why do we accept her calmness then but insist she must be medicated now? Psychopaths don;t get as anxious as other people.
One other thing, in English, retarded does not just mean unintelligent. No doubt psychopaths are usually very intelligent. It can also mean limited emotional development.
I don;t think so because she is lying. If she didn;t remember why would she lie about so much?
WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW, "I've been trying to puyt his death behind me." Really? that quickly, huh?
So in Jodi's mind, Travis had found his future wife.
So she invited him to see OTHELLO? Jodi probably sees herself an an Othello-like tragic character. Travis as Desdemona.
Thank you SparkNotes:
Desdemona is apparently aware of her imminent death. She, not Othello, asks Emilia to put her wedding sheets on the bed, and she asks Emilia to bury her in these sheets should she die first. The last time we see Desdemona before she awakens to find Othello standing over her with murder in his eyes, she sings a song she learned from her mothers maid: She was in love; and he proved mad / And did forsake her. She had a song of willow. / . . . / And she died singing it. That song tonight / Will not go from my mind (IV.iii.2730). Like the audience, Desdemona seems able only to watch as her husband is driven insane with jealousy. Though she maintains to the end that she is guiltless, Desdemona also forgives her husband (V.ii.133). Her forgiveness of Othello may help the audience to forgive him as well.
Shortly before he kills himself, Othello wishes for eternal spiritual and physical torture in hell, crying out, Whip me, ye devils, / . . . / . . . roast me in sulphur, / Wash me in steep-down gulfs of liquid fire! (V.ii.284287
I wonder if the police interrogatures don't think they are on a great hunt to get the subject to capitulate. A very serious game of chess.
