![]() ![]() ![]() I couldn’t help but wonder: Did Rivers object to Marcus assaulting Hadassah? Or only to Marcus’ interest in sex outside of marriage? ![]() Indeed, Rivers never seemed to be quite aware that Marcus was assaulting Hadassah. It seemed like Marcus’ treatment of Hadassah was portrayed as wrong because Marcus wanted to have extramarital sex with Hadassah, and not because he was sexually assaulting her. While reviewing A Voice in the Wind, I often wondered what Rivers actually thought of Marcus’ behavior. ![]() The dynamic is the same-Marcus assaulted Hadassah in this way to prove to her that she wanted him, despite her “no” to his proposition. Having just finished reviewing A Voice in the Wind, this feels very familiar. Both sexually assault the women they claim to love.Īt one point in Redeeming Love, Michael grabs Angel and kisses her in order to make her feel sexual attraction to him, to “prove” that she loves him, despite the fact that she has left him. Both behave abusively toward the women around them. Both have done well for themselves financially and are independent. Both are very handsome and turn heads everywhere they go. While reading Redeeming Love, I was struck by similarities between Michael, its male protagonist, and Marcus, the male protagonist in Voice in the Wind. ![]()
