The only variable here is the 'must' which is still just an assumption. It would seem likely that he would have found the document. The author does a superb job of creating that doubt by not affirming that Larry knew anything about the insurance. That leaves the reader guessing - did he or didn't he??Ferdinand_otieno wrote: ↑15 Apr 2019, 22:58When I read about the accident, I agreed with you, but after finding out about the insurance policy which he "must" have found (basing on the amount of time he spent going through the documents) and his refusal to tell Louise about it and letting her think he was cheating on her! It started to stink of a conspiracy to commit suicide, it stank to high hell. Considering all of this, wouldn't you agree?kdstrack wrote: ↑15 Apr 2019, 22:44Larry was caught by a cable that snapped. The waves are described as "erratic." I don't see how Larry could have known that the cable was going to snap and which way the cable was going to fling when it broke so that he would receive the impact of the broken cable??? There are too many unknowns for him to have planned it. I still think it was just an accident.Ferdinand_otieno wrote: ↑15 Apr 2019, 21:45
100% true, but what he could control was how close he was to the cable and also not diving out of the way, or even attempting to.
Larry also knew his wife! He knew that once she had made up her mind about something, anything he said or did was not going to change a thing. He could talk until he was blue in the face, and she would never believe that he was not cheating on her. She had lost trust in him. Would this motivate him to commit suicide so she could collect on a CHEATER? Was he going to reward her accusing him of being with another woman?
