It is imperative for Mac to impregnant Dee as quickly
as possible. This is to bind her to the house, to prevent
her from working or having any reason to leave.
If she doesn't become pregnant immediately, he
works very hard to insure she does, sex takes up
much of their time together. They are virtually
always in bed.
It is not the sex why Mac is there, it is the need
to gain that all important 'warden', the child.
If Dee doesn't become pregnant in the year, he will
begin to punish her because her liklihood of escape
is enhanced.
He will make her feel deformed and despised.
The longer it takes for her to get pregnant,
the more abuse, skipping to the final chapters
in quick pace.
If she does become pregnant within the first year,
he exalts her beyond all women. He worships her.
Dee is confused, doesn't know how to handle this
adoration. If she mentions frog's legs, he will go
out in a hurricane, and not return until he has
gotten them.
She can not believe her blessing in having a man
like Mac.
There is no one in Dee's world except Mac and
her Ob-gyn. And he must hear every word said
to her, and analyse and decide.
The family is ecstatic, and Mac will take her on
'tours' where he watches her like a hawk and no
one is allowed to speak with her beyond his hearing.
The baby is born and Dee is to stay home and
take care of the baby. That is her complete role.
Family and friends are allowed supervised visits,
but then, Mac demands they stop.
"Germs"
"Stupid advice"
"Confusing the Baby"
various remarks which do not admit the obvious...
"I need you to be segregated from all living."
As the infant grows, Mac begins to demand more
of Dee. He is feeling neglected. The child is now
to be allowed to cry, if Mac wants sex, or a cup
of tea.
Mac begins to see the child as a threat to his power.
Then, he decides to have the child bond with him.
There are many actions he will perform to attempt
to connect the child to him sans Dee. Whether
taking him out for hours, constantly holding him,
feeding him, making the bond father/baby strong
or stronger than mother/baby.
