Maggie is pretty much not the ordinary girl of her time. But I think her emtions is that of any ordinary girl, at any point in time. Every child seeks for love and affection from her siblings. She was trying to look for this with Tom, but it seems she couldn't. Or maybe, she just couldn't get enough, or wanted too much? At the same time, we are all seeking for sibling protection especially from a brother.
Protection that most of the time is being equated to love. The sad part is our siblings couldn't protect us and wouldn't protect us all the time. Most of the time, our innocent minds coudn't understand it - couldn't grasp it, yet.
Hence, lack of protection is being equated to lack of love. The even sadder part is that it is quite unhealthy if we do not outgrow that feeling because we lose our sense of trust, our sense of belonging, not only to our siblings, but to our family and society as well.
The ripple effect.
I hope Maggie will be able to outgrow this chapter of her childhood; of her life. To learn how not to expect too much so that she would not get disappointed. To accept that we cannot get the most out of sibling love - most of the time.
