Written on the Wind / int_f6e10f3e	comment	Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: On the one hand, there's some thematic tie to Mary Lee's dancing and her father's sudden death suggesting that the shame of his kids was too much to bear. At the same time, a straight reading of the narrative can be read as this trope since the old man most plausibly died of natural causes and old age and her volatile dancing is just a strange thing to cut to.
