Quote #13

"You haven't even looked at us all day. We haven't heard from you in such a long time. When are you coming to see us?" (11.8)

Elizabeth asks Prejean to be the Harveys' friend again, even though they had a falling out over Robert's execution. Vernon and Elizabeth are certainly vengeful in a lot of ways; they support the death penalty and want Robert to die. But they repeatedly reach out to Prejean, and even after she hurts them by speaking against Robert's death, they forgive her. People are complicated.
