I think that Granny did still love George, or at least had some strong feeeling toward him. She was bitter that he left her at the alter, but still had feelings for him- that was why it was so important for her to prove that she had a good life, despite what he did to her. Her many thoughts surrounding him in the story and the desperateness of those thoughts made me think that she had never really forgotten him, but simply tried to make the best of her life without him.
Lauren Corley- I think that she still had feelings for him but it had been a number of years that she was left at the altar. If I were her, I would still be upset but I would find a way to get over the fact that someone left me at the altar.
I believe that Granny still loved George even after all these years. She had tried to convince herself that she didn't love him anymore. Stried to prove to herself and to George that she had gotten over him and lived a good life without him. In reality, she was still obsessed with George and bitter about him leaving her at the altar, and she couldn't ever forget anout it. -Emily Thorn
Michelle Silva: I do think that Granny still loved George. I think this because she is still talking about him and referring to him on her death bed. Also I think this because she is constantly trying to convience herself that she has forgotten about him and moved on. Overall I dont think she has.
Michael Klein: I believe that Granny still loved George, even though he left her at the altar and seriously offended her. One example that leads me to believe this is her thought about the letters in the attic. She apparently left some old love letters to both John and George in her attic, and she didn’t want the children to find them. If she had truly given up her love for George, she would not have kept those letters. In the middle of the story, when Granny falls into a kind of fit, Cornelia puts a wet cloth on her head. One of the thoughts that goes through Granny’s head at this time is that it is George. This shows that George is still on her mind, and she somewhat hopes that he has returned. When Granny is about to die, she also decides that she would like to see George again after sixty years, even if it is out of spite. Through these examples, I believe that Granny still loved George.
