「Sidney Promises Nothing Will Go Wrong」を読み解く

What's really going on

The scene is the real consummation of the murder plot, and it happens over a drink. Myra's confession, that a part of her hoped Sidney would act, takes the pressure off him and puts them on the same side: 'This was my doing and my doing alone' becomes an act of protection, not honesty. He promises that nothing will go wrong and asks her to trust him, and she answers, 'I believe you.' What they have built is a marriage with a corpse in it, and the scene lets them speak that aloud as intimacy. The line about murder being an aphrodisiac is the joke that seals it.

Theme

TrustSidney asks Myra to believe in him and she agrees, turning the crime into a bond between them.
GuiltMyra confesses she partly wanted it, and Sidney absorbs all the blame to keep her from sharing it.

このチャプターで学べること

  • Taking all the blame is a way to end a partner's doubt.
  • Go wrong names the failure without naming the person.
  • Big laughs after terror often mean the fear has nowhere to go.
  • Sidney's promise closes the subject more than it comforts.

発音のポイント

  • believe in — Link believe into in so it sounds like belie-vin.
This was my doing and my doing alone.

Sidney takes the crime entirely on himself, both to protect Myra and to keep control of the story.

But nothing will go wrong. I promise you.

His reassurance is a cover-up promise: the plan will hold, and she only has to keep trusting him.

That's hardly surprising, everything considered.

A dry line about the door being unlocked, taking in the whole night and treating the obvious as obvious.

That murder is an aphrodisiac?

The question that ends the scene, naming the dangerous pull between the crime and their closeness.

このシーンについての質問

What does Myra confess to Sidney?

That part of her hoped he would go through with the murder, even while another part was terrified he would. She is admitting she is not innocent in her heart.

Why does Sidney insist the killing was his doing alone?

He wants to take the blame off Myra and keep her close and quiet. Framing it as his alone also keeps him in control of the cover-up.

Does Myra believe Sidney's promise?

She says, 'I believe you.' Whether she means it is left open, but the scene ends with the two of them going upstairs together.

What does Myra mean by calling murder an aphrodisiac?

She is asking whether the danger and guilt of what they did have drawn them closer. It turns the horror of the night into a strange kind of intimacy.
