If they had all learned something from it...
Do you think that had they all learned something from their behaviour, the phone would not have rang at the end saying a young girl had committed suicide? Just a thought.
shareThat thought occurred to me too. The way the Inspector was sitting in the rocking chair next door while they all basically made their decisions on how they were going to deal with the whole issue. The older folks wanted to just laugh it off and forget it, the younger people were more serious and thought it was important to change as a result. And the Inspector seemed to be waiting for something. I too felt that if they'd done things differently, if they'd repented and changed their ways, somehow it would have turned out that Eva Smith hadn't really died, or somehow all this tragedy would not have been necessary. I almost felt as if their skepticism sealed everyone's fate; as if they were making the choice between life and death for Eva, and they chose wrongly.
Flat, drab passion meanders across the screen!
