Flowers in the Attic	comment	Flowers in the Attic is a novel by V. C. Andrews first published in 1979. The first in the Dollanganger Series.A lurid tale of lies, secrets, betrayal, and child abuse, Flowers in the Attic is the story of Cathy Dollanganger, her older brother Christopher, and their younger siblings Carrie and Cory. Following the death of their father, their mother Corrine takes her children to live with their rich grandparents, who had previously disowned her for Dating What Daddy Hates. Now her father is dying, and Corrine is determined to get back into his good graces in time to inherit his estate. What the children do not know until they arrive is that their grandfather does not know they exist, and that their mother must keep them a secret until she can break the news to her father.Upon arrival at Foxworth Hall, the four children are locked in one room under the care of their grandmother, who soon reveals the shocking truth about their mother's disinheritance. All too quickly, the children learn that they will be forced to remain in the attic until their grandfather dies. But as the wait drags from weeks to years, Cathy realizes that their only chance to survive is to escape.

Flowers in the Attic / int_117b3429	type	A Taste of the Lash
Flowers in the Attic / int_117b3429	comment	A Taste of the Lash: When she returns to her parents' house, Corrine is whipped to atone for her time spent "living in sin" — thirty-three times, one for each year of her life, and fifteen more, one for each year she spent in her "unholy marriage" with her husband. The grandmother makes it a point to show Corrine's welts to her children to make it clear what will happen if they misbehave. For looking out the window, and then speaking out against their grandmother, Christopher and Cathy get whipped with a willow switch.

Flowers in the Attic / int_18aff462	type	Artistic License â€“ Biology
Flowers in the Attic / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology: Arsenic does not work the way the book claims it does. Sunlight deprivation would not produce the dramatic effects seen in the twins. Moreover, the recovery rates for diseases caused by lack of sunlight and malnutrition are very positive once the person returns to regular sunlight and a healthy diet—especially when the person is as young as the twins. The only reason that Cathy and Chris are not as stunted as their younger siblings is supposedly because they get out on the roof to sunbathe, while the twins are too afraid of the roof to go out... but unless Cathy and Chris were spending every daylight hour on the roof, they should still be in worse condition than the twins and take longer to recover from their vitamin deficiencies. All of the children are regularly malnourished, undernourished, and in one instance starved for nearly two weeks. But Cathy spends hours on end practicing ballet, a high-intensity exercise that can burn 300+ calories per hour. She should be more than merely thin; she should be too weak to function. (Cathy herself points out how much dancers must eat to avoid being "skin and bones" but doesn't otherwise seem to realize the connection between her caloric input and her physical output, while Future Medical Doctor Christopher never attempts to either warn Cathy about the health risks or to stop her from burning calories he knows she can't afford to lose.)

Flowers in the Attic / int_1ce83c47	comment	It's basically textual that Christopher is sexually attracted to—or at least very confused by—his mother Corrine. Corrine definitely plays into it a bit, what with her spinning around in negligees and constantly cradling him to her breast, and—in one very memorable moment—kissing him full on the lips. From Corrine's end, is this just more of her general need for male attention? Is she trying to keep Chris wrapped around her little finger? Is there some actual attraction because her son looks so much like her late husband?

The book's name is not mentioned, but the author is: T.M. Ellis. There was a real Victorian novelist and poet named Thomas Mullett Ellis who published books under the name T.M. Ellis. Not much is known about him, and finding his books these days is difficult, so it's at least possible that he did actually write a story that matches the one described.

Ellis could just as easily be a man.note (Cathy was right: the most likely candidate is a Victorian author named Thomas Mullett Ellis; see Fictional Document above.) Cathy also converses on this trope in general. The meta layer of this is interesting. Flowers itself was also published under Only Known by Initials Moustache de Plume "V.C. Andrews" thanks to the publisher. In an interview, Virginia Andrews says she didn't like this pen name—but she also didn't know it was going to happen until very late in the publishing process, which would've been well after this scene was written.

After the tarring, Cathy tells a story about how she and a friend once overturned a bucket of tar from a road repaving and played in it, getting completely filthy and ending up with tar in their hair. An apocryphal anecdote from one of Andrews' relatives claims that this happened to Andrews as a young girl: while playing in some tar at a road paving, young Andrews got the muck in her hair and had to have it cut boyishly short to remove it. The relative claimed that Andrews—who prided herself on her long golden hair—was traumatized by the incident.

In particular, she keeps buying Cathy clothing meant for younger girls without realizing that Cathy has sprouted breasts and can no longer fit into them, as well as continually forgetting to buy Cathy bras no matter how many times she asks her for them. Conversely, Corrine has not noticed how the twins have failed to grow up—they're still the same size as when they first came to the attic.

Flowers in the Attic / int_9400b3b5	type	Questionable Consent
Flowers in the Attic / int_9400b3b5	comment	Questionable Consent: Chris and Cathy have sex once, and the consent is deliberately unclear. In the moment right before, no consent was communicated, which puts it pretty firmly in the rape category. The characters' subjective experiences of the event, on the other hand, are rather more nuanced and murky. Almost as soon as it's over, Chris has an My God, What Have I Done? moment and explicitly calls it rape when he apologizes. Cathy insists that it was not rape and she does not hold it against him. She's very firm on this point, saying it again twice in the night that follows. There definitely isn't "Not If They Enjoyed It" Rationalization going on here: It hurts, Cathy doesn't come, and when Cory is sick Cathy begs God not to punish him for her and Chris's actions, saying, "And it wasn't any pleasure, God, not really, not any." Chris says he didn't mean to, that he had fought off the same urge many times before, but that this time it swept over him and felt out of his control. This is a terrible justification for rape, but it's interesting in that it means both of their experiences of the event are strikingly similar: They wanted it, but also they struggled against it—though perhaps not hard enough—and when it finally happened, it felt more like an outside doing than a deliberate choice of theirs.

Flowers in the Attic / int_bdc453a0	type	Incest Subtext
Flowers in the Attic / int_bdc453a0	comment	Incest Subtext: The textual incest only the tip of the iceberg. Basically every parent-child relationship the story takes a look at has some undertones (or overtones). It's basically textual that Christopher is sexually attracted to—or at least very confused by—his mother Corrine. Corrine definitely plays into it a bit, what with her spinning around in negligees and constantly cradling him to her breast, and—in one very memorable moment—kissing him full on the lips. From Corrine's end, is this just more of her general need for male attention? Is she trying to keep Chris wrapped around her little finger? Is there some actual attraction because her son looks so much like her late husband? This is cut short by Chris Sr.'s death, but him and his daughter Cathy have undertones to their relationship as well. Cathy often has a sense of competing with her mother for her father's attention. Corrine and her father Malcolm certainly give off this impression (which is impressive considering we never really see them interact on-page). Their relationship—prior to Corrine's exile—was both possessive and adoring.

Flowers in the Attic / int_e4b69188	type	Very Loosely Based on a True Story
Flowers in the Attic / int_e4b69188	comment	Very Loosely Based on a True Story: In her pitch letter for Flowers in the Attic, Andrews insisted that the book was based on real events. Later, family members stated that during her adolescent hospital stays, Andrews had become enamored with a handsome young doctor and that he had confided that he and his siblings had been locked in an attic for many years in order to gain an inheritance. No other evidence has come forth to confirm this claim (and Andrews and her publishers distanced themselves from the story over the years) but it occasionally surfaces as an urban legend. To a lesser extent, the incident where the grandmother puts tar in Cathy's hair may have really happened, in a roundabout way, to Andrews herself. After the tarring, Cathy tells a story about how she and a friend once overturned a bucket of tar from a road repaving and played in it, getting completely filthy and ending up with tar in their hair. An apocryphal anecdote from one of Andrews' relatives claims that this happened to Andrews as a young girl: while playing in some tar at a road paving, young Andrews got the muck in her hair and had to have it cut boyishly short to remove it. The relative claimed that Andrews—who prided herself on her long golden hair—was traumatized by the incident.
