This was so extensive and wonderfully critical. What a lovely video essay! ❤
I think that at the end, whether Grace committed the murders or not is not the main concern of the book but showing the abuse she endured. This is either a justification for what she did (in case she did have a part in the murders) or another abuse she is victim of. Grace Marks is one of the best characters Atwood has created.
I like the way you explain the story and analyse the novel! Excellent work
Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed the vid
I'm currently reading Alias Grace. I'm close to the end of the novel. It has certainly been an interesting read.

thank you for this video! :)
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you found it informative/enjoyable :)
I watched the film adaptation of this book and enjoyed it.
Started reading, well, listening to the audio book, and felt so utterly confused. Wasn't sure if I was missing something. Came to RUclips to gain some clarity. I'm now even more confused. My biggest confusion atm, who the hell is narrating the book? The book starts with what appears to be poetry and random snippets of, well, I'm not entirely sure. I can't say I have ever been so confused by a piece of literature in my life.
