Conjure Women:
What was the purpose of castrating Jonah?
Why did Marse Charles feel the need to tell Miss May Belle he loved her as he raped her? There was no suggestion whatsoever prior that he had any kind of fond affection for her other than how much money she saved him by birthing babies and keeping his old ones alive.
