stop ragging on Marion

I noticed that there's a lot of talk on here about how Marion is psycho and neurotic. Marion is definitely more than a little crazy (see: attacking ex-boyfriends), but Jack is not exactly the perfect man! They share the responsibility for the state of their relationship. He's irritable and selfish from the moment the movie begins (giving the American tourists fake directions just to get a taxi), is more concerned with his hypochondriasis than Marion's feelings, and interprets everything in the worst possible way to indicate that Marion as a slut.

Surely, just about all the characters are caricatures apart from, maybe the genuine terrorist and some of those who serve in the restaurants and such like who are portrayed as ordinary folk just trying to get by and make a living.
