Imprint --- Christopher's sister


I got most everything in Imprint, except... what had Christopher done to his own sister that tormented him?

The wild, cruel animal is not behind the bars of a cage. He is in front of it.

Well, I don't think it's really possible for us to ever know with certainty, but it's certainly implied that he may have a) raped or otherwise sexually abused her, b) hurt her or somehow tortured her, and even c) killed her (or drove her to suicide).

Get the picture?

...Either way, there was definitely some sort of inappropriate relationship going on there. Bad enough to make him deserve everything he got at the end of the episode.

It is strongly implied that he coerced her into sexual relations (she says "I did what you asked," which could mean anything, but in the context of this film, probably means a sex act), and then killed her (possibly motivated by guilt or inability to live with what he'd done to her).

I totally agree and don't forget when he said that Kokomo remind him his sister.How can someone have sex and be in love with someone for so long when she reminds him his really young sister if he didn't feel that way for his sister too?

Pretty sure it was some type of sexual abuse, I'll go farther and say he probably impregnated her, explaining the dead fetus in he cell and the story revolving so much around aborted fetuses being dumped in the river. The deformed girl (cant remember her name) mentions she was the product of an incestous relation. If she was all a product of his imagination and guilt, her being deformed and "evil" would be a way for his warped mind to try and justify what he had done
