Quote #10
When he got upset, he would just raise his voice. But that night, he grabbed her by the wrists and shoved her on the bed, only—he said later—to make her come to her senses. "Swear!" (3.9.64)
Jaimito takes a cue from Trujillo and uses violence to keep his family in line. When Dedé wants to help her sisters by burying some arms on their property he reacts with violence. His claim later on, that he wanted to make her come to her senses, attempts to justify his actions, but do you think it's fair to protect someone by using violence?
