The cycle begins with a person who falls in love with another and will do anything to make them happy and is taken advantage of, however, is hurt when they realize that person’s true nature and is harmed by it. It has a new beginning because each time the manipulator starts a plays a different role and meets a new person and takes on a new life. Cathy creates cycle of manipulation throughout the story and each new cycle represents a new life and persona she takes on. She begins with her original state being Catherine with her parents. She manipulates them and makes them think she is a good child when really she is not. She manipulates their naitivity and explotes their natural love for her. She uses it to her advantage and makes it makes them vulnerable to her. She kills them and then steals their money. She then repeats this when she meets Mr. Edwards and makes him fall in love with her, she weakens him steals his money, and then leaves him. Here she becomes Cathy and has a personality shift. She manipulates Mr. Edwards into thinking that she is an innocent girl who may or may not have other men in her life besides him. She becomes an unstable lover to him; by making him feel as though he is not up to her standards Mr. Edwards attempts to keep her happy by providing her with material good and money. He begins to lose weight showing how Cathy is essentially killing him. She leaves Mr. Edwards and moves on to Adam. Adam is blinded by his love for Cathy and is unable to see past her, and is abandoned by her. She takes on the role of wife and mother. She plays the victim and pretends to be helpless. She is a doe. Faye is another victim who she once again makes her fall in love with her using her false veil innocence to lure her into her trap and kills her, and takes her money. She plays the role of a loving daughter here and acts as if she is concerned about her well-being. She is over dramatic and acts as if she is vulnerable and weak. Each time she deceives someone with her false sense of innocence and beauty and claims their money as hers. She begins a new life and identity with each person she deceives. It is the beginning for Cathy however it always ends the same which is why it is a cycle.
The Cyle of Abandonment:
Cycle of Abandonment
Each
cycle begins with one sided love and ends with the other who is unable to
return the same amount of love abandoning the other. The abandoned leaves the
other person and begins their own new life and starts over without the other.
The person who was abandoned most also start a new life by them self and adjust
to a new life without the person they love. To abandon someone means to take away support from a person or despite obligations to them. The cycle contains Cyrus who
abandons his family, Charles who abandons Adam, and Adam who abandons Charles. The cycle
begins with a different group of people or couple and ends with one abandoning
the other. They are all cases of love
gone wrong. Cyrus is unable to show
affection towards his family, and forming a bond with them and he ends up
abandoning them to go to Washington for a job. Adam who has a shaky
relationship with his brother Charles abandons him at their home farm to
venture off and make his own new life. He yearns to leave him behind as part of
his past and start fresh. Charles is unable to love his brother and withdrawals his support from him an despite his role as his brother. The cycle leaves the abandoning the other with the freedom and a new sense of freedom. Cyrus leaves his family and flourishes in his new government role.
