Atonement :]

1.) Briony Tallis was self taught.

2.) Robbie finally sees Cecilia as a woman rather than a sister-like character in his life.

3.) Robbie Turner realizes his love for Cecilia as he is compelled to write her a sorry letter following their falling out.

4.) Robbie accidentally puts the wrong letter into the envelope that he tells Briony to take to Cecilia before he gets to dinner.

5.) Briony gives the letter to Cecilia without an envelope.

6.) Briony tells Lola about the letter she received from Robbie and Lola suggests that she tell the police.

7.) Briony walks in on Robbie and Cecilia against the bookshelf.



  • Why did she give up on her play?
  • Does he finally see her differently because he saw her while she was wet?

  • Why does Cecilia spend so much time picking out a dress for dinner?

  • Did Briony read the letter before giving it to her sister?

  • Did Robbie rape Cecilia?

agile (adjective) - marked by ready ability to move with quick easy grace

carapace (noun) - a protective, decorative, or disguising shell

"The idea that the temple, wearing its own black band, grieved for the burned-down mansion, that yearned for a grand and invisible presence, bestowed a faintly religious ambiance."

- Personification

I have a weird feeling that Robbie didn't actually rape Cecilia because other wise she would screamed out for help.
