I haven't read the short story for 30 years and it didn't influence me. I stand by my opinion: the second piece is dis-jointed. The work doesn't hold together, there is missing a critical piece of her relationship with her husband.
Suddently to see her so emotional means less than if we knew her better; it almost seems like an affectation or directorial exaggeration.
