Cause and Effect

Author's Note:  I HATE THESE THINGS WITH A PASSION. Oh, and this is about the book, Rose Madder, by Stephen King, and I haven't read it all, so I am writing based off of what I have read thus far.

In average marriages today, you can be an independent person, and your significant other will still love you.  Too bad Rosie Daniels', because her marriage doesn't fall into the normal category; she is married to an abusive, brute, cop.  For 14 years, Rosie has had to deal with being beaten and losing her unborn children, by the hand of her pig husband, Norman Daniel.  Rosie finally thinks it's time to break out of the chains that enclose her and for once in her life do something for her greater good; she is running away and starting anew.     This is the climax of the novel. If I were Rosie, I wouldn't have suffered for nearly as long as she did.

Well, that doesn't fly for Norman Daniels; if she is caught, Rosie is going to feel the consequences.  He is on the hunt for Rosie, and he is seeking blood.  By driving Rosie to run away, Norman has lost the 'normal' life he portrays, and he wants her back.  While hunting down Rosie, Rosie herself is picking up the pieces of her own life.  She has no time to find another man to love, but could she even love again?  Her dark pasts haunts her everyday, and everywhere she goes she has to check behind her for Police lights.  Yes, she is free, but some part of her will always be attached to Norman Daniels.
