As It Was in the Beginning

Question Number 5.

I think that Esther really love Laurence. Laurence was a dream for Esther in her long lonely life. Laurence wanted close to her,make she happy. Esther was fall in love in his arm. He made her blood sweep to very fingertips. When they are together, she would forget any unhappy things. She only can see Laurence in her world.

     
Even if Father Paul broke her dream. Father Paul convinced Laurence not marry to Esther. Because the discrimination that Esther's mother is hopelessly uncivilized; her father has half-breed. I don't think Esther was love Father Paul. She didn't want live with Father Paul. And she wanted to kill Laurence to break Father Paul' heart. Father Paul deter Laurence to marry Esther. He wanted Laurence marry to the Hudson's Bay factor's daughter. Esther heard the conversation. She must be hate Father Paul.

However, Esther didn't stop love Laurence. After Laurence changed his mind and will marry with a "white". Esther was upset, she went to Laurence's room to kill him. But, when she look at Laurence, she lost. She can't stop loving him. She wanted to give Laurence a better life. She still love him.
