Lo que dijo Harriet está calculada con una milimétrica pulcritud capaz de enrarecer una atmósfera que se tupe hasta la asfixia. En el grito del desenlace se superponen los matices del campo semántico del mal: mentira, manipulación, humillación, abuso, crueldad, asesinato… Un catálogo de violencias que lleva a los lectores a preguntarse si las terminaciones nerviosas de nuestra maldad pertenecen al territorio de lo congénito o si, por el contrario, las malas acciones brotan como síntoma: sobre si de verdad los fantasmas existen o no son más que proyecciones de una mente enferma a causa de la represión sexual, el clasismo...
