Ripley actually grew comfortable into his personality
disorder as
he went along- thriving. Which is probably the most frighting
thing
of all... Without reverting to crass manipulation,
Highsmith
devised a means for a reader to actually *gulp* root
for
Ripley. Although, this may say more about the reader
than
Ripley :)
Anyone, know if Highsmith was working on a last Ripley
prior to her death?
