In "Sleeping With The Enemy"?

Question

Why does Laura/Sara flush her ring down the toilet before she leaves her husband & fakes her death? Was she so in a hurry she didn't think it wouldn't flush all the way?

Had she smashed it with a hammer or left it in the ocean ( to make her death more believable) Martin may never have known EXCEPT for the phone call he got from the YWCA, which he still could have thought was a mistake had he not found the ring but then I guess it wouldn't have been a movie lol.

Answer 1

You hit the nail on the head kiddo, it's all about plot development.

Answer 2

heheh thats

true

but it was still

good

=D

Answer 3

she just threw it in the toilet because she wanted to get rid of the painful reminder that she was ever married to such an a*****e. i think at that point her plan was all going her way and she wasn't thinking much of it actually not flushing.

i know if wouldn't think to stand there and watch it to make sure it flushes haha.

Answer 4

I have to agree,I think she was in a hurry,But also she hated him so much I think she wanted a clean escape no traces of him left on or around her,like no reminders.That loser got what he had coming,It's so weird I was just thinking of this movie a couple hours ago,Its a great film.Anyway there is my 2 cents.
