Does Agnes pour Quoyle's dad down the toilet?


Just want to clarify, she did tip him down the out house loo and then use the facilities, didn't she?

reply

Yes because he raped her when she was a child

good on her !!!

Yes she poured Quoyle's dad down the toilet.

In the novel there it says something about how there was some poetic justice in Agnis, Quoyle and the kids daily relieving themselves on the ashes.

reply

this is one of my favourite parts.

reply

Yeah, immediately after pouring in the ashes, she sits down and relieves herself, saying, "Welcome home, Guy."

It's such an unlikely but classy way to say, "Piss on you" to a character why truly deserved it!

reply

it's almost like the writer said, "got to have an incestual rape angle to my book to titillate the rubes!"

reply

He wasn't just Quoyle's father, he was also Agnes' brother ...

reply

I like to think she does a number 2 on him.

No, it's not his father. His father is dead. It's the ashes of his father's body.

Yes, she did. Quoyle's dad was Agnes' uncle who raped her when she was 12 and impregnated her.

reply

Agnis is Quoyle's aunt (Bunny's Great Aunt), which makes her his father's sister. Quoyle's father was Agnis' brother, not uncle.

Yes. She pissed on him in death as he had pissed on her life by raping and impregnating her. I wonder about the ashes she used to replace Quoyle's Dad's/her brother's with in the urn. Could they have been those of her deceased lover? Was this mentioned at all in the book? Very symbolic and apropos if so.

reply

That would make sense.

reply

yes she does good for her, but who does she refer to as the love of her life?
i missed that one very important line? do you know?

reply

The love of her life was the unidentified woman in the picture with her that she showed to Quoyle.

reply

The outhouse seemed like a fitting place for him. May he rest in peace!!

reply

That scene was kinda familiar. Does a similar thing happen in another film?
