I doubt he would've been so upset about George & Rose getting married.
The fact that he was a closeted gay man seemed to really fan the fires of his resentment toward Rose whose arrival disturbed the atmosphere of the ranch in his eyes.
Well, it is true that she was using George.
Nothing wrong with that, he was using her too probably for sex.
A good reason to get married back then. And nowadays.
Relationships are funny things. They can start out as one thing and become something else. At that time, there were probably plenty of couples who initially married for personal interests and eventually grew to truly love each other.
shareAll true.
Buy also true is what Phil said about her motives.
Indeed. As a single mother, Rose was certainly interested in financial security.
shareThe actors playing this couple are together in real life, so the looks argument doesn't work for those saying she could only have married him for money. I think she was lonely and sad after her alcoholic husband died, and George showed her kindness that led to love.
shareIt’s not like she pursued George. He drove regularly to see her. He even pretended to be a waiter just to cheer her up.
I think they genuinely loved each other.
