Poor dora but poor Jack. He’s also terribly alone and when he thought he found comfort and possibly refuge (Dora), her circumstances and his mother lead to him losing such refuge. Of course Dora shouldn’t be placed in such a burdensome position but it was mostly just psychological emotions that lead to the place Jack and Dora are in now. It’s so sad to see Jack try and talk to Dora to understand her but Dora pushes him away because she genuinely believes Jack is somehow living a better life even though he has a mother who literally think of him as her late husband (his father).
They’re both victims and I wish more people talked about not just dora but Jack
