The Woman in the Window
A. J. Finn
Contributed by Eleanor Sherer
Chapter 73
Summary

Among the characters present at her house, David seems to be the only one on her side. As Little interrogates David, the author shows his haughtiness in his replies. David was an arrogant character. Even as Anna mentions all the proofs that she hopes will argue her case, her theories are discredited. Driven by her obsessiveness to prove that she was right, Anna even attempts to accuse David of being Jane’s murderer. When she points an accusing finger at David, he proves that he is not culpable. Fearing that has lost the argument, Anna mentions that David had a criminal record.

Little views this as Anna’s desperation, in proving that she was correct. Little informs Anna that he had talked to Dr. Fielding about her case. He had informed Little that Anna’s husband and daughter were deceased; not estranged as Anna frequently put it. In this section, the author represents the social stereotypes that people still hold against convicts. Anna found it easy to accuse David because of his criminal past. The mystery about Anna’s family is also solved in this chapter. The author confirms to the audience that Ed and Olivia were deceased.
