What happened to Tuptim?
What happen to her in the end? Did she commit suicide?
"Did you think that I would harm her?"-The Phantom
In the book she is killed. The film is ambiguous as to her fate but I like to believe she was pardoned after the king dies.
shareIn the motion picture "Anna and the King of Siam" Tuptim, played by Linda Darnell, is burned at the stake. I try to avert my eyes as Ms. Darnell's demise in real life was due to the aftereffects of being in a fire.
shareThat's a nice way to think about it! Or at least that the king would view her obvious misery at the death of her lover as punishment enough. It's not exactly kind, but it's better than a beating or execution.
