In regards to the repressed feelings or rather the repressed memories and emotions of Katherine, it can all be related to one event with in the text. I believe that the affair she has with the strange man is in itself her way of continuing the repression of what happened with her husband and the murder. But unknown to her, it is this very relationship that brings the memories of her husband and the murder back to the surface. As the meetings between her and her lover become more frequent the detail of what happened in their conversations becomes more detailed and the information becomes more forthcoming. It is through this affair that these memories and emotions again become repressed when the relationship comes to an end. This can be related to the passage of the text that reads "She banged the door behind her, as she'd been told to. They had not said good-bye, yet as she went downstairs, hearing again the muffled gabble of the racecourse commentator, she knew it was for the last time. The room was finished with.This afternoon, she had felt that, even if it had not been said. With the end of the relationship, the closing of the door and the return to her husband, she has once again repressed the memories and feelings of the murder.
