Response to Leigh (Week 9)

I too, enjoyed The Kiss by Kate Chopin. I'd have to say that it was my favorite piece out of everything I annotated.

It's just a great example of the cruel intentions of people. This woman was toying with both men. Brantain, the not so attractive, rich man and Harvey, the attractive family friend. She pretend to care for Brantain just in order to get his money, and as soon as she locks that down she turns around and goes after Harvey. It's sad, because it's obvious that Brantain trusts the two of them, because he actually sends Harvey to give her a kiss and she just tries to take advantage of his trust.

Good for Harvey for giving her the wake up call that she needed. You can't get everything, especially if you attempt to deceive good people.
