Frank finds cache of money, why doesnt he take the whole thing?
an interesting movie although quite depressing – still, the Irish seem to have an innate charm, no matter what! – In the film: a bit irreverent about the RC Church and its tenets, maybe; nice scenes with the pretty Theresa; the drunkenness the father falls into, sad (things like this: one reason I remain in AA!) – but to get to my question,
I don’t get it, Frank finds woman (moneylender) dead, finds chest and takes money, seemingly leaves ½ behind – a bit odd, I thought, if he’s taking the money at all (getting away from moral question -- and he in a state of poverty after all) why throw any of it back – maybe wasn’t clear, the papers could have been things like deeds or something, useless to him, or maybe some local ritual, a sign of respect – anyway, when he finds cache of money – and maybe she was a spinster, had no dependents – while he was at it, why not take the whole amount? – just wondering
