why is Ann the monster???????

I think that if we can say love is real and true then Douglas should not have cheated. Ann is the monster because she forgave him. I know it can be argued that love is about forgiveness, but I say everything has its limits. She was not pushing him, he strayed, therefore she is the monster! They had a perfect life together, a happy family. Many times in relationships where the family has a "good name" like in a political and wealthy families with a position women allow adultery, domestic violence, and humiliation. The cookie cutter, the great housewife, the lady of perfection, the person to hold everything in tact and keep an image, is the monster. By forgiving or allowing any of those things you are ignoring it, and by ignoring it you are agreeing with it. A relationship is also staying true to ones self and she is not attending the problem, she is a sick monster who gives woman a bad name. Forgiving Douglas like Ann did, only sends the message to the rest of the men that it is okay to cheat, lie, hit, abuse, and humiliate.
