Both Hornblower (a non-conformist ‘chapel man’) and the Hilcrists (Church of England) would be familiar with the teaching ‘Let him who sins cast the first stone’<br />Chloe is the woman caught in sin. Hornblower thinks little of evicting his tenants or using his power to remove anyone or anything that gets in his way - exploitation. The Hilcrists are prepared to stoop to blackmail to get what they want. Hitchcock (and Galsworthy) portray the blindness to our own ‘sins’ and our preparedness to castigate others for theirs so well. Very true to life!!bazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11248402684004788190noreply@blogger.com
