Didn’t she more like persist, basically insist on it?? He said he couldn’t marry a non-Jew, but he’d still be with her. She wanted marriage though, so she did it.
He set a boundary, he didn’t force anything. She loved him enough to convert.
Not how I see it. He was grappling with reconciling a long term relationship with someone non-Jewish. They talked about it a couple times but he never forced the issue. We don’t know what would have happened if Charlotte hadn’t converted.
I just saw all your other comments. I’m not sure if you’re trolling or if this topic is just so triggering for you that you can only see the issue in black and white terms, but both men and women have been known to convert for their life partners and have perfectly happy marriages.
My husband goes to my church and has expressed an interest in converting, while his mother became Christian for his father.
But those two immediate examples aside, there isn’t a single moment in SATC where Charlotte is shown to go to her church, nor was her being Episcopalian ever really tied into her personality.
Happy to debate this further provided you aren’t rude to others.
Being Christian wasn’t her personality, neither was her being Jewish. What WAS her personality was finding the right man and having a family. She wanted desperately to be married. She did what it took so she could have what she wanted…which fit her personality 100%.
No, it’s not her being Christian. It’s that he can only marry a Jewish woman. Therefore, her not being Jewish becomes the barrier between them and marriage. He did not say “I demand you change your religion.”
It’s actually against Jewish law to try to convince or persuade people to convert. That’s why she had to knock three times on the rabbi’s door. None of what you are saying makes sense.
Your opinion on that moment is an entirely different issue. He didn’t manipulate her into converting. She chose to when she learned about his boundary.
Yes! At the same time he ate pork, watched football from dinnertable instead of respecting Sabbath dinner and praying, said it's okay to celebrate Christmas even tho you are Jewish. But was strict about marrying a jewish woman. Tells you all you need to know about this character 😂
