The Long Knife

I feel as though she's doing that throughout the story. You know, in that first scene, she's put out the long knife for him to cut the cake with. Is she trying to create not just drama, but an actual attack with this knife? She wants to take it to bed with her to do what a who knows. I think she thinks it's the last thing. And i think the story suggests it's like all of those things, you know, that she she's the last person we should trust about her motivations.
