Are you sympathetic towards Ruth?
Do you feel sympathetic towards Ruth? Do you think she's getting what she deserves? Could she have been a better mother? Grandmother?

I don't know why I keep calling him Finch when his last name is Lynch!

I didn't feel any kind of sympathy for her either.Karen0823 wrote:I did not feel sympathetic toward Ruth. You need to know what is going on inside your own house. Open your eyes. I think some people turn a blind eye just to remain in a marriage for the stability, or whatever the case may be.

She was second villain of this story.Amagine wrote:I'm not sympathetic to her at all. I felt she should have done more for her daughter and granddaughter. She failed to protect them both from her mentally sick husband.

That was very bad of her.Salsabila wrote:Could Ruth have been a better mother or grandmother? Definitely, but I would not go as far and be sympathetic towards her. I see Ruth as selfish and uncaring since she can not sacrifice her happiness to face the problem that her husband Fletcher was into child abuse.

It's good that someone feels sympathetic to her. I truly do hope she redeems herself though.CatInTheHat wrote:I feel some sympathy towards her, but without knowing how she handles things in the sequel, I won't know for sure. It is possible for her to redeem herself.

It would be more interesting to learn more about Tom and Ruth's relationship.meteku4 wrote:Well it is unfortunate that much has not been said about William and Ruth's relationship before divorce, so it is difficult to tell whether she deserves some sympathy or not.
