the urgency at the end


why did it feel so rushed?? why does Emma RUN to pack?? and her maid seems to understand this and RUSH to help as well??

i loved the relationship between them and thought it was very tender and loving...

i just didn't get why it was so... URGENT...

it almost felt that discovering her love as a revolution was like a social and political uprising or upheaval... it happens so fast...

but i would still like to hear your thoughts on this as i'm puzzled...

Emma was just a piece of art in that very cold museum, was it really a home? The scene where Tancredi is putting on her jewelry in their master bathroom is so telling of how she is just property and Tancredi is just adorning Emma in the same fashion that the ugly house is adorned.

At the end when Emma is almost out the door, just getting an approval and loving nod from Betta, Eva is ambitious and senses that she can take Emma's place as a new mother within the Recchi family. Hence, the Recchi's still will own a piece of Edo with Eva's baby and the family will have new life because they are vampires. It doesn't matter to anyone but Betta that Emma will be gone because to the rest of the Recchi family they can replace her rather easily with Eva.
