Amy Smith That her father is the father of constantine's child


S.Marie Jones That was my thought also.


Pamela Yea my thought was the same. But I thought that maybe she thought worse. That her father raped Constatine. And fathered her child.


April I felt the same as everyone eles, that Skeeters Father was the father of Constantine's daughter. But I don't think that Skeeter's father raped Constantine in the sense that we would think of it in today society.

Kiri Im glad I wasn't the only one who thout skeeters dad did the dirty with constatine. I also thought that was the reason as to why skeeters mom threw her out, I was relieved when it was for a different reason. I also thought of the possibility of their having been violence against Constatine for having a child with a white man. At that time in history there was a whole lot of things that could have caused Constaties dismissal.


Maria I thought the same thing - not that it was a rape at all though, but that maybe Skeeter's father and Constantine had a loving relationship during over the years. Even with Skeeter's open-minded attitude, she would have been shocked and horrified if this was the case.
