| Posted By: Lizzie Bathory Posted On: Nov 5, 2007 Views: 767 | Lizzie's Guilt "Our version of the chapbook is 8.5 x 5.5 inches and about 50 to 60 pages long. It's just the right amount of space to cover the topics we like investigating, such as whether Lizzie B. did the dreadful deed, whether Queen Victoria was a vampire," 50 pages of whether Queen Victoria was a vampire? Wouldn't that just be "no" written in very large font thousands of times to fill up all those pages? As for the murder, the most logical suspect is Lizzie. She benefited most, she had the opportunity, and she'd know that at the time, a lady would barely be investigated for such a crime. Plus the timing is just too perfect - anyone outside the household wouldn't know the exact times when the victims would be alone. Bridget Sullivan might well have been in on it... and maybe someone could make the case that Lizzie actually paid her to do it. What I find interesting are the different theories as to motive. Was it entirely money? Was it her parents' control over her love life? (Because of her relationship with Nance O'Neil, some theorize she was gay). Or was she just sick of Andrew Borden's notorious stinginess? |
| Posted By: Lisa Posted On: Sep 27, 2007 Views: 857 | Lizzie's Motives I read a research paper that suggests that Lizzie and Emma Borden were both victims of incest. It makes a lot of sense, and explains a lot not only about the murders, but also about Lizzie's life. For example, she was a kleptomaniac who often shoplifted all around town. She had no need to steal, yet did it addictively. (Kleptomania is a behavior, or illness, if you will, that frequently accompanies molestation) Also, it could explain why neither Lizzie nor Emma ever married. And it certainly would explain why the murders were so violent and brutal, and perhaps why Emma and Bridget Sullivan covered for Lizzie, which it is widely believed that they did. Maybe they knew Lizzie did it, but felt that she was somehow justified? Of course, we will never know. I just wanted to throw that out there. |
