Hi Grimm Fans,
This thread is about trustworthiness. Eric stated “I don't think the characters'(or real people's) sexual behavior determines if they are trustworthy or not” does not square with other writings on the topic. You can (should) refer to the whole articles since I have only pulled a few phrases.
Willard F. Harley, Jr., Ph.D. has a paper at marriagebuilders.com which states:
“If your spouse has had an affair, and is now willing to reconcile, you're likely to ask yourself, how can I ever trust my spouse again? And without trust, how can our marriage ever survive?
Without a doubt, an affair is the ultimate betrayal. An unfaithful spouse is fully aware of the suffering that the affair will inflict on their spouse, but feels justified in causing it to happen. It reflects a total disregard for their spouse's feelings . . .
How can you ever trust someone again who did all of that to you?”
At the web page healingafteraffairs-bloomington
“Infidelity is more than betrayal....it is traumatic! . . .
Infidelity is torture of the heart, callous, calculated and cruel. It feels like acid eating through the depths of your soul, burning away the innocence of hope.”
There is an interesting study by Dr. David Buss, an evolutionary psychologist at The University of Texas at Austin: http://news.utexas.edu/2005/05/23/psychology It states:
“In Buss’s sample of 429,729 homicide FBI files, 13,670 were cases in which a husband killed his wife. A husband discovering his wife having an extramarital affair is one of the leading causes of women being murdered, particularly when the woman is dramatically younger than her husband. This supports earlier research conducted by Buss of more than 10,000 people in 37 cultures that found that the traits men most valued in a mate were beauty, youth and fidelity.”
The scene in 4.22 of Nick holding Juliette while she dies was painful. You can see he still loves her. In spite of all the evil she did. Even knowing that seconds prior to her death she was in the process of murdering Nick, he is devastated that she is dead.
Renard’s romp with Juliette was unconscionable. If your boss cannot keep his pants on when he is alone with your woman he is unworthy of your trust. He has no honor. In the world of Grimm, Nick is entitled to deliver revenge upon Renard and I expect many fans long to watch some very physical and brutal payback.
The warehouse with Kenneth would be a convenient place. Nick can beat Renard to a pulp then call 911 and say Renard and Kenneth (Jack) had it out. Then Renard can be the hero who saved Portland from Jack and Nick gets a pass on his revenge. That would be a double convenient use of Kenneth’s corpse!
Enough fantasy. We have to wait until October to see how the writers provide us the promised “revenge.”
Best wishes to all,
New Guy
