Rafiel (akivel találkoztunk már a Rejtély az Antillákon-ban) csak benne bízik, őt kéri meg a halálon túlról visszanyúlva, hogy bogozzon ki egy csúnya rejtvényt, egy elfeledett gyilkosságot, amit már mindenki ad acta tett. Ez már így marad.)Īlighanem ez a Marple-regények titka, a kontraszt a törékeny test és a mögötte rejlő eleven szellem között, ami, ha szagot fog, kikutatja a gazságot, ha hat láb mélyre temették is. (Én Miss Marple-t mindig Joan Hickson arcával képzelem el.
Mert átvert az öreglány! Becsapott! Azt hitted, valami random Erzsike néni, holott ő Miss Marple!!! Törékeny, cukimuki öreglány van az ajtóban, jaj de meleg van, sóhajtja, leülhetne-e Önnél? Te meg ugye jóravaló gyilkos vagy, szóval megkínálod egy pohár vízzel, aztán cseverésztek erről-arról, és egyszer csak azon kapod magad, hogy csattan csuklódon a bilincs. Képzeld el, hogy egy szegény, jóravaló gyilkos vagy, aki hosszú-hosszú évekkel ezelőtt eltett láb alól valakit - nyilván respektálható okokból -, és akkor egy nap kopognak. Then, as I say, Mum tells the girl to call it rape." ( )Īzért ez mekkora genyóság már. Doesn't stop badgering him until she's forced him to sleep with her. With the girl at him all the time to come to the house while mum's away at work or dad's gone on holiday. Mum tells the girl she's got to accuse the young man of rape, even if the young man hasn't had much chance. "Well, we all know what rape is nowadays. And free to do what they think are grown up things." And yet, like all children, they want to be thought grown up. Not to have to accept our kind of responsibility. Their babydoll nightdresses, their gym slips and shorts, all children's fashions. Even their miniskirts represent a worship of childishness. Childish in the clothes they like to wear. That is physically true, though in a deeper sense of the word, they mature late. Their mothers insist, very often, that they should call it rape." Girls, you must remember, are far more ready to be raped nowadays than they used to be.
"It seemed to me highly unlikely that there was a very definite case of rape. (although maybe it was neither christie nor miss marple who actually felt this way? it was hard to tell for sure, if they didn't, though.) including how often she denigrated women, which i also found surprising, and quite over the top. but i didn't like the writing and i found so much of it repetitive. i did enjoy the solving of the mystery, which was a surprise (i definitely fell for the red herring). This was my first miss marple book and i can't say that i liked it.
