Oh, we're completely agreed on the Death as Redemption for women trope in fiction. It's why the Hooker with the Heart of Gold has to die at the end, but she's generally not allowed a redemption that comes with LIFE. But death purifies all sins or something, apparently. This has given me quite a thing for literary heroines like Medea and Helen of Troy who get away with things instead of dying to make up for their sins.
I'm amused by your parents getting you tickets to Miss Saigon for your birthday. How old had your turned that year?
