Reading Reponse #3
I wonder if the relationship that has developed between Ruth Jamison and Idgie Threadgoode was inspired by a relationship of Fannie Flagg’s. I have found out through research that Ms. Flagg is openly a lesbian. This brings up the question as to whether Ruth and Idgie’s relationship will be one of the like. Their relationship comes across as more than friends. You can see that they truly love and care for each other. Ruth was supposed to marry a man when she returned home that summer, but this relationship developed and you could sense that she did not want to marry him anymore. She had to make a decision whether to stay at Whistle Stop or to go back home. She leaves to go home but at some point she comes back to be with Idgie. I hope that Ms. Flagg further explains what happens to their relationship between the time jump.
