The Legacy- Analysis

1) It’s hard to keep sympatethic at the same time. He put work above her and he put his well being above hers. He relates everything to his job, he says: “he has been given a minor post on the governement” his job has always been present even though his wife coped with grief. He thinks everything is about him, he thinks Sissy has affection for him and that’s just a signal of how big his ego was.

2)On the one hand, she didn’t know him as well, she would’ve lost her comfort and protection. Alternatively, he could’ve gotten violent towards her, but that’s my point of view. On the other hand, she should have confessed, she would be still alive, she would’ve gotten separated from her husband, and could’ve kept on going with her life. She would’ve been happier with the man that belonged to her. Besided, Gilbert’s grief would’ve been smaller, if he found out about the infidelity directly and, without the obvious loss of her wife, the blow would’ve been softer for him.

Because of Gilberts egoistical behaviors Angela didn't felt herself truly free, if Gilbert understand her and give attention to her it wouldn't be like this, Angela felt that Gilbert doesn't care about her, then she tried to search for a truly healthy relationship, she shouldn't have committed suicide, maybe if she expressed her feelings to the Gilbert, he could have changed.

No matter how Angela had reasons to do what she did after Gilbert’s wrong actions, I can still understand Gilbert’s feeling after being cheated on when he was not expecting it. Because I believe that you do not have to stay in a relationship where you are not happy. There is always a way to end up toxic situation that harms us. So I find what Angela did wrong and I sympathize with Gilbert in a way.

And yes I believe Angela should have confessed when she was alive and I also think that suicide is not a solution either.

I don’t feel sympathetic towards Gilbert. Since he feels superior to his wife, he tries to make his wife just stay at home and do nothing and he shows no pure love to her. He acts as if her wife is a object and not a human. This made me very sad and angry at the same time. These were caused her to find true love and a person she can be happy with. And i think she is not wrong. However, the life that she lived and things happened to her after led her to suicide, which is really sad. Thats why I don’t think Gilbert has done anything right.

İt is the cowards way that's correct but a way of solving problems absolutely not. When you are in heavy dept and choose to end your life instead of repaying the dept it'll still be there. The person giving you the required money will still be troubled and the dept will follow you through your eternal journey. New problems are created where you have possibly left behind orphans or parents who have to live with the grievance of a lost child.

I dont think she should've confessed when she was alive, her husband was uninterested in her life to the point that he had no idea about her affair and she had already decided to kill herself which tells us that she's tired of everything, she didn't have an energy to tell her husband and frankly she didn't want to tell face to face and I sympathize with her decision.

And for the other question yes symphatise with Gilbert, I think the biggest issue with their marriage was that they're not meant to be with each other, they're incompatible and he views his marriage way more differently then her but that doesn't mean she was right to have an affair, she should've been honest with him

If Gilbert had not been selfish, Angela would have been more open with Gilbert and could have expressed her thoughts more freely. Since Gilbert didn't see Angela as a thinking creature, so Angela just did what she wanted and didn't even ask her husband for help. So I think it's Gilbert's fault that Angela searched for love from other person and then it ended up with suicide. That's why I don't sympathize with Gilbert
