I think that yes it does limit the information you receive but i think that Fitzgerald did that for a reason, if he wanted the reader to know the information he would make it that you do.

I think that what Kailey is say is making a good point but i think that he shouldn't be able to get away with cheating on his wife, he signed up for marriage when he said "I do" and the only way to break that is by making her sign the divorce papers. After that he can do whatever he wants.

I think he knows that she is not going to speak so theres really no point in pushing her any farther with revealing him to everyone.

If everyone thinks Hester's husband is dead why is such a big deal that she had a baby with someone else? I think that she should be able to go on with her life and if she wants kids that her business.
