6. Allusion

So Chapter 6 got pretty intense there for awhile.. Frances did not exactly take her breakup from Robert well. At the café she made quite the scene in front of Jake. On page 57 during her long speech, Frances made an allusion to a statement found in the Bible. "...we that live by the sword shall perish by the sword." In other words, Frances believed that she should have known this breakup was coming, since she had previously made Robert fire his secretary when they first started dating. It was now her turn to be let go, and she obviously did not take it very well. Especially since she compared this situation to a fatal one.
