Norton also explicitly says he has regressive beliefs about the power of women to heal men, and heal families, keep them together.
and Yasmin may be in semi exile, but she is from that world. She knows the rules, she knows the players. She will be happy enough planning events and all the petty bickering of invites and who sits where and whatever. For awhile. She's one of them. She has good skills for that, but she was never as Eric said "are you a worker", she is not one. but she can move in society with power.
I think of marriage as structural institutions, they deserve some criticism, and some support, but you have to be able to see the structure to understand what it is. And so much of that, like any institution, is about ritual. That engagement scene is pure ritual. The hunting, pure ritual. without the symbols, and the mutual understanding of their importance, they are nothing. Look at where Yas and Rob were sat. That said it all right there.
Since the wealthy dictate a lot of culture downstream, that is in fact, why people have elaborate weddings and all that shyt. They are just performing the ritual.
it’s fitting that she accepted her fate to be the coked up promiscuous wife of a wealthy loser drug addict. The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. She spent 2 days in that economy rental with Rob and realized “this broke boy sh*t is not for me.”
