1. Zeena had been sick before coming to Starkfield; She feigned sickness; She wasted their hard earned money; She was hard to fit in anywhere, thinking Starkfield too samll, while cities too big for her. etc.
bmdn's interpretation: she was ill-willed; she was trying to manipulate Ethan.
bjeh's interpretation: (1)it's Ethan's view; (2) people with chronicle diseases do behave abnormally; (3)most women waste money buying useless stuff from time to time.
2. Zeena had known Ethan's change since Mattie joined them, but she didn't let Ethan know that she knew.
bmdn's interpretation: evil!!! cruel!!! inhuman!!! they didn't love each other!!!
bjeh's interpretation: she knew it but wasn't sure what's going to happen until it got clear. 要是她上來就吵鬧,不是本來可以沒什麽事兒的,也生出事兒來了嗎?
3. Zeena was almost like a healthy woman after the incident.
bmdn's interpretation: 她以前就是裝病!
bjeh's interpretation: 人的潛能是無窮的。
4. She cared for Mattie for 24 years.
bmdn's interpretation: unknown
bjeh's interpretation: for any purpose, even purely to torture one's worst enemy, it isn't worth 24 years of one's own life.
