Veepo, the strange one, whose passion for Oona became his reason to exist, to create, to move into artistic endeavors and rise above the mundane......
And, so, it was, perhaps the secret wish of Patricia......to become, regardless of her insecurities and questionable sexual appeal, to be loved in such a deep and reckless fashion...... that a man would dismiss his wife, and cling to the memory of a strange, imperfect, yet fascinating woman......whose simplicity and baseness transformed her.
@KathleenWilbeck I think Highsmith has more in common with Veepo than Oona. She certainly didn't want to be loved by a man! She loved certain women the way Veepo did, with recklessness and all-consuming, insane passion.
Excellent point Mr. H.!
Thanks for bringing in a different perspective!!!!
