I like the Hitchcock one except for Max frequently calling the heroine "fool" and "idiot". Um, he's supposedly in love with her?

[tree_and_leaf]

Isn't that what he does in the book? Also, it seems sadly typical of a certain kind of mid century romance.

[greghousesgf]

really? I never read the book. that's messed up.

It's because Max... isn't really a great person, and the relationship isn't a very healthy one. He marries the narrator (who never even mentions her own name) because she's very young and innocent, a blank slate who's complete unlike his first wife. IIRC, the "you little fool" is said affectionately (insofar as it is possible to say that, affectionately) but it comes from a place where Max is older and experienced and jaded and his new wife is sheltered and mostly looking for an escape from her life as a lady's companion.
