The Marriage of Ruth Jamison and Frank Bennett

page 157-187/ August 8,2010
Reading Response #6
I agree with Idgie going to Valdosta, Georgia to check up on Ruth to make sure she is doing okay. The relationship they had during that summer was undeniable and you could truely tell how much they loved each other. Frank Bennett, the man that Ruth married seems like an alright guys from the outside but appearances are not everything to go by. We learn that he takes advantage of women and he feels that he owns them until he is done with them and does not want or need them anymore. This man has abused and caused physical harm to other women if they do not do what he wants or threaten him in any way. Frank Bennett is a very sketchy guy because not many people in the near by town see him around all that often. I believe that Idgie going to check up on Ruth is okay especially if she feels that there is something shadey going on. Idgie watched Ruth going and coming from church for two years before she went to her home and spoke with her. This shows how much love she has for Ruth and that it will never fade or go away.
