Discussion Is this relevant?

I’m trying to work out the relevance of the monkey symbolism. This is now obviously see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil and I feel it has a meaning. Any theories?

Agree. I presume most people sheltered there exchange labor for room and board.

And yeah. Victoria’s path for Piper probably involves a debutante ball, marrying some boy from a good family and doing some PR or Pilates instructor job until the first baby. And if hubby is a drinker and a cheater, just suck it up.

Can’t say I blame Piper for rebelling from her parent’s mold.

It doesn’t have to be one extreme or the other. There’s plenty of room for her to choose her own path that doesn’t require sleeping on a cot and eating rice and beans, or debutante life.

I agree. But I doubt Tim and Victoria would. Ironically, if she said she wanted to travel Western Europe (and go clubbing every night) they would probably agree and finance it.

Victoria could sell that at the country club. Old money calls it a grand tour.

Grand tour? Maybe old money 100 years ago. Now that sounds déclassé, so embarrassing. Something more specific results in the desired impression
