To me, the way the light was hitting her face made her look like an obese Charles II of Spain.She reminds me of the monster librarian from the Goosebumps episode The Girl Who Cried Monster:
Definitely. Chantal relied on Salah in Kuwait, but she did so out of laziness instead of necessity. She had lots of access to English-language services; was surrounded by lots of expatriates, even some from Canada; there was even a Canadian embassy in Kuwait that she could rely on in case something happened. Kuwait is a lot more 'free' in the sense that Chantal was never actually stuck there: even if she ran out of money, and Salah left her or kicked her out, or something like that, she could still just go to the embassy and get help booking a flight home.I am starting to think he has a control over her didn’t in Kuwait, and while he will try to appease her, not to the same degree.
She has none of that freedom in Syria. She doesn't have an embassy or consulate to rely on. There isn't many expatriates or foreigners around. Barely anybody speaks English. Without Salah there, she'd be completely stuck. Chantal is virtually a prisoner in her home right now, and the cabin fever is starting to get to her. I don't even think Salah is enjoying this newfound "control" either; I think it's stressing him out that he's responsible for her well-being and safety.
