ATDTDA (7): 191-192 plotline

[Peter Petto]

This short scene begins with Mayva's choice: Webb or Lake. She 
chooses Lake. "...she had to save at least one of her children." And 
some tongue sandwich between the tow of them. Webb, in her memory had 
transformed into not-Webb. At the end of the scene it's May and Lake 
assuring each other that they couldn't have changed things (sort of 
symmetric to Webb's conclusion in the previous scene that he couldn't 
change Lake.) Lake closes with:

"We were never that important to him, Mamma. He had his almighty damn 
Union, that's what he loved. If he loved anything."

I think about the ways that Unions present themselves as a kind of 
family -- brothers and sisters. Did Webb's choice for this 
pseudo-family doom his own?
