Maggie asks Peter questions like "Did he come to you at night?", "Did he wait for you after school?" and "Did he let you swallow his poison?" Who is "he" and what does she imply? English is not my first language so I'm a little baffled. Plz help.
shareNever mind. Found the answer at the parents guide:
It is implied that his grandfather molested him as a child. She asks him if he made him, "swallow his poison," implying that he was forced to swallow the older man's semen.
Exactly right. The other part you quoted referred to when the Grandfather had access to him. At night the old man's wife had her eye on him but when the boy came home from school he could molest him.
