Apricots And Wolfsbane Book Chat discussion

Question 5. in what way is Lavinia like her favorite poison, wolfsbane. How is Aselin like hemlock?

For Lavinia, picking one side-effect, I'd pick numbness. I'd say her inability to really comprehend how her actions affect others comes off cold. Making her numb. Even in her reflections on what lead to her circumstances never really come close to true remorse.
For Aselin, Hemlocks ability to keep their victim locked in place, slowly suffocating could speak to her reasoning behind turning on Lavinia. Maybe she felt she was rooted in place unable to shine past her Masters light.

Wolfsbane seems to be a quicker poison which might show some compassion of Lavinia's faith based background where Aselin seems colder and having no faith issue might enjoy watching her victim suffer.
