How does Esther act when she returns to Boston? How might her night with Marco have influenced her actions?
To me Marco is a jerk, he expected to get sex out of Esther. Marco gives Esther his diamond pin and now he also expects to have Esther dance with him. He tells her to act like she is drowning so that he can take control of the dancing. He then attempts to rape her, but Esther almost lets him do it so she can experience sex. When Marco calls her a slut she realizes that isn't what she wanted. Esther then punches Marco and his nose starts to bleed. Marco smears the blood on her face. Esther doesn't want to take off the blood from her face because it shows that she did something to someone, made damage. When Esther gets home to Boston she gets even more depressed. Her mother tells her that she didn't get accepted into the writing class that she applies for. It seems that she is more upset about this than almost getting raped by Marco. All of these things that have hurt her in New York had pilled up and she finally realized how broken apart she is.
