Quote #10
"Oh, but that's why I got to cut his throat," she said plainly. "If I didn't love the son of a b****, I'd let him live forever." (19.35)
If Alma didn't care about Wade, then she wouldn't what he did or with whom he did it. She says she needs to "cut his throat" because she can't handle Wade cheating on her and being mean to her. Alma, like Anney, experiences love as an overpowering emotion that overrides other considerations, such as the bad behavior of the men they love.
