Meg sez:
Frenesi and DL are not the kind of women that would even consider being
possessed by a man.
I say:
How can we find that Frenesi was not possessed by Brock?
Under his influence she betrayed everything she believed in and set up
the murder of her lover. Look at her behavior when DL comes to rescue
her. She doesn't seem like someone who wants to be rescued as she pines
out the back window of the Nomad.
Even a year later, married and possibly already pregnant - don't have my
copy handy - she's visiting Sasha more than she would hoping to cause a
blip on Vond's radar.
I know there are many definitions of possession, and I'm interested in
Brock's if he thought with all of that he only possessed her for a minute
and a half, but comparing Frenesi's behavior pre- and post- Brock I'd say
he owned her.
Frenesi's possible salvation through the power of Love at the end doesn't
change that.
On another note - How did Frenesi wind up with another kid after what she
went through with Prairie? I'm sure Frenesi believed in a woman's right
to choose. What was the postpartum scene like with little Justin?
