wasn't planning on it
Okay, so my original plan was to comment on someone else's blog post because I didn't really want to write one. BUTTT after i say this line on page 128, I just had to. When Therese says "Cecilia was weird, but we're not. We just want to live. If anyone would let us." This go me wondering. Who wasn't letting them. Their parents? for keeping them all locked up and caged like animals. or was it everyone else who keeps comparing them Cecilia and thinking that if Cecilia was weird and suicidal then they must be too. So which on is it? Or is there another "anyone"? I have no idea, but it got me to post on the blog, so props to Jeffrey Eugenides.

This line also stood out to me because it's once again comparing the girls to animals. Throughout the book Cecilia and the other sisters have been compared to beasts or dogs or animals but why do people (like Trip talking about Lux when she kissed him in his car after their dinner) keep making this comparison? Is it them trying to make the girls be on the outside so they can be on the inside?
