Did Kate Know?/Did Chris Know?

I think that Kate honestly thought that her son might have been killed. I don't think however that she would have ever thought that he had killed himself. The reason why I think that is because when she reads the letter in the last act her reaction is that she is basically horrified to see that. She is kind of in disbelief so I think that she really didn't expect to be reading that.

As far as Chris thinking that his father was guilty, I think that he didn't. The reason why is because they never really put his father out like they do towards the end of the play. They always knew in the back of their heads but they never really said much to Chris about it. I think that once he found out for sure though he was very angry because he felt like the letter that he read from Larry confirmed it for him and he wanted to kill his father but it ends up his father taking his own life instead.
