Quote #10
[…] and to [Ann's] utter amazement it was her Simon, purple-faced and shouting at her, striking her still, his face soaking wet with tears—this her Simon, the quiet one, now yelling at her, "Why? Why? Damn you, you always do this, it's always just you you you, off in your own world, you are so selfish!" (8.2.147)
Ann's greed comes full circle, and when she loses her beloved red Mars, she attempts suicide. But when her greed conflicts with Simon's love (read: love = selfishness?), the sparks will fly. Battle sparks, mind you; not the love variety.
