Andrea wants it all – the best clothes, the best car, the best everything! She rolls into town and picks right back up where she left off: in charge. She is married to a sheepish man named Walter, whom she likes to boss around. She represents a self-seeking, materialistic approach to life.
Many of us find ourselves being just like Andrea: obsessed with money and thoughts of wealth, even if it gets in the way of our relationships with our family. The application is clear: Instead of investing her life building up important things like a relationship with God or with her family, she has chosen to let money get in the way. She can never get enough! As it says in Ecclesiastes 5:10, “He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its income.” We can often be like that ourselves! Power and money can be very tempting, but sometimes doing the right thing and living a godly life means abandoning those things in order to follow the Lord.
Spoiler alert! Bobby’s attitude at the end of the movie is a much better example of how to deal with these temptations. When he stands up in the courthouse and lets his family know that he will not be ruled by greed or money, he demonstrates how a true follower of Christ should look at life.
Reagan Kendrick (Andrea) has performed in many theatrical and film productions in the Cleveland, Ohio area including a lot of Shakespeare work. She says that she often plays the evil sister role, and loves to play the bad guy.
