In watching the movie over and over again I can'thelp but notice Alice's reactions to Duncan. She is very happy to see him when he shows up in Albany and when Duncan goes to talk to Cora Alice gets up so they can talk. My question is; did Alice want Cora to be with Duncan or were there perhaps some feelings for him on her part? Throughout the movie you see her clinging on to Duncan and hardly ever leaving his side. It bugs me everytime I watch it. Maybe I am reading into it too much but would like to hear some other opinions. |

I never read the book but it sounds like it is very different from the movie. |

Actually in the novel, Duncan is head over heels for Alice. Duncan has to marry Cora though. Duncan felt a need to protect his fragile love from the uncivilized wilderness. WHile Cora is leading the way in the wild. |

Chasis, my take on this is that Alice considered Duncan as a close friend of the family, who may one day become her brother-in-law. She was so very naive that I think the affection she showed to him was like sister to brother... perhaps with just a smidge of "puppy-love" infatuation thrown in. In fact, she reminds me of a puppy: sort of jumping around his feet, being clingy and so on.
