Mrs. James

I found Zee's story pretty interesting, especially the way she turned a blind eye to Jesse's criminal activities. What kind of life must that have been for her? It was really sad to me how her life seemed to fizzle out after Jesse's death.

Yeah, I didn't have a great feel for what ran through her mind. She was kind of like those mafia wives who cultivate a willful ignorance of the family business. I never understood how people live like that, how they compartmentalize their feelings for a person so that they can ignore a whole bunch of bad stuff and cling to a perceived core of "goodness." It's completely baffling to me.

I did pity her, though.
