Terry ~ Huntress of Erudition asked this question about The Secret History:
Does anyone else but me think that the Classics professor was involved with the murders?

I think that Julian (the professor) was not directly involved in the first murder, but he was pushing them towards it and must have hinted that it was murder that would free them. Henry does say that he knew of their attempts, but remains obscure on whether Julian was told about the act or not.

The second one, he was not privy to. That I am pretty sure of. Julian's reaction to the second murder is very very unexpected even for Richard, and I was also surprised by it, as I had always thought that Julian (as portrayed) would probably weep for his students (of whom he is extremely fond of) and may even break down at this act of theirs, but never once did I believe that he would simply up and leave them to their own devices.(less)
