Analysis
Life continues for the Gladneys as normal, though Jack’s misgivings about Babette’s deception continue to affect him. Still, they continue asking each other how they feel, a question that seems to soothe both of them.
By checking in on one another, Jack and Babette each assume the role of a caretaker. Given his penchant for positions of subtle power and authority, it is no surprise that this would provide Jack some emotional relief.
