Chris, Bart, and Jory: the Saddest Theme in the Flowers of the Attic Film Series

I swear to you, all morality leaves my body when it comes to the Dollanganger siblings. (We're speaking the VC Andrews screen adaptions, as the books are wayyyy too messy for me to make excuses for the utter sexual exploitation of Cathy and her rejection of consent) Cathy and Chris had to fight through hell with tooth and nail, and where I absolutely am disgusted by the incestuous content presented in these films, its purely because they have been clouded in so much darkness that I just want them to be happy.

Which makes the judgment (not that those who judge don't deserve to judge, it is fucking gross under any other circumstance), so much harsher, because the characters that judge them through the duration of the series didn't experience the endless trauma Chris and Cathy did. They bonded through the things only they fought through together, and Chris was more than what he was to Cathy, which was why it was seamless for him to father Cathy's children. Though it hurt him to see her love other men and bed other men, Chris was there from the second both Jory and Bart were born, raising them, providing for them, and most of all, loving them. It is something in the film series that Chris doesn't get enough recognition, because Chris sure as hell didn't have to do this much for Cathy, but because he loved her, he loved Jory and Bart, too.

Which leads to my most hated part of the film series. How Bart completely throws all of Chris' love in his face, and I know it's a driving plot point, but it's so unfair to Chris with all he's fought through to also be betrayed by one of his sons. It's bonkers to me. Chris will never not deserve better. He deserved to live happily with Cathy, and embrace his sons lovingly, and create more of a home that was warm and comfortable. Chris Dollanganger bore a majority of the hurt for his siblings, and still was walked all over for providing, loving and protecting his family. This is the man that gives in to Jory's grandmother's blackmail so he wouldn't lose him, and would rather die than refer to Bart as his "stepson."

cindy is a pistol. she’s rebellious, but not in the aggrevating way. she doesn’t like to make her parents upset. her rebellion is silent, she does things in a way that cathy and chris will never know about - most of the time. the exception is with bart. openly, robustly, cindy is rebellious with bart. but more on that, later. cindy, in one of her various ways, is romantically rebellious behind her parents back. not only will cindy lie and claim she is sleeping at a girlfriend’s house when she’s really spending the night with whatever boytoy she happens to be entertaining at the moment, but she always uses the term ‘girlfriend’ extremely loosely with chris and cathy.

cindy is bisexual, with a heavy preference towards females. this, in her teen years, she had never been open about to cathy and christopher because she could use it to her advantage. cindy is able to trot off to a ‘girlfriends’ house for the weekend, or even for the week during summer or break, and cathy and christopher are under the simple illusion that she’s spending time with a good friend. in reality, it happens to be who cindy is currently dating or hooking up with at the moment. 

‘“she’ll be coming soon,” i called back. “right now cindy is visiting a girlfriend’s home [...]”’ -cathy

while her brother bart may have suspicions, he never voices these aloud that cindy is aware of. he says nothing to their mother about this. cindy, on the other hand, would very much let her suspicions be known if it concerned bart. cindy has also used this tactic to get away with bringing home her girlfriends to stay at the sheffield house, and she takes pride in the fact that she can keep very quiet while others are around so they don’t suspect a thing. much like her brother jory, she uses the attic to sneak up to with her girlfriends and cathy and chris are never the wiser about either. it isn’t until the episode at foxworth hall, for bart’s birthday celebration (and soon before christopher’s death) that cindy opens up to her parents and tells them that she is bisexual - but she does not tell them about all the times she has deceived them.

Jory Marquet for  A Year of Theme Posts

Jory Marquet from the Dollanganger Family series (1979-1986) by V.C. Andrews for August 19, 2017 August, 2017 Favorite Character Theme.

So the books that Jory was in have been adapted into television films, but I was unable to find a decent picture of him alone which is why there is no picture.

Jory makes his first appearance in the second book of the Dollanganger family Petals on the Wind (1980) where he is the first born son to Cathy and her recently deceased first husband Julian. He loves Cathy’s second husband Paul Sheffield as his Father since Jory never knew his birth Father and quickly becomes a big brother when Cathy becomes pregnant with a second son with the Father being her Mother’s second husband Bart Winslow.

In the third book If There Be Thornes (1981) Jory becomes a more prominent character and is seen by his younger brother Bart to be the perfect child. Jory has also followed in his Mother and Father’s footsteps in wanting to become a dancer which causes Bart to hate him more. Unlike Bart, Jory does not latch onto Corrine Foxworth who had recently moved in close to the family home and tells her to leave his brother alone when he becomes suspicious of her behavior. 

In the fourth book Seeds of Yesterday (1984) Jory has grown up and married his childhood sweetheart Melody and has a successful dancing career with this wife as his partner. In preparation for Bart’s twenty fifth birthday party Jory and Melody go to visit him at the newly constructed Foxworth Hall (the original burned down years before) where Bart tells him that he wants his older brother to perform a dance at his wedding.  This dance would prove to be almost fatal for Jory who is severally injured when a prop falls on him breaking his back and leaving him incapable of standing let alone dancing. Following Jory’s accident Melody begins an affair with Bart and after giving birth to Jory’s twin children leaves Foxworth Hall and does not return.

While trying to raise his children without Melody’s help Jory’s relationship with Bart continues to strain, but never completely breaks. Eventually Jory finds help to raise his children and gains a new love interest in the process when Cathy hires a woman named Toni to help take care of him and eventually Jory and Toni marry after Toni finds out that she pregnant with his child.

In the Lifetime film of If There Be Thrones (2015), Jory was portrayed by Jedidiah Goodacre and in the Lifetime film of Seeds of Yesterday (2015) an older Jory was portrayed by Anthony Konechny.

Cathy Dollenganger for A Year of Theme Posts

Cathy Dollenganger from Flowers in the Attic (1979), Petals on the Wind (1980), If There Be Thorns (1981) and Seeds of Yesterday (1984) by V.C. Andrews for May 4, 2017 May, 2017 Heroine Theme.

First appearing in the Flowers in the Attic, Cathy Dollenganger is the first daughter and second oldest child in her family and is helping her Mother and siblings prepare for her Father’s birthday party who was killed in a car accident before he could return home. Desperate for money and help Cathy goes with her Mother Corrine, older brother Christopher, and younger twin siblings Cory and Carrie to their Grandmother’s home Foxworth Hall. 

Shortly after arriving at Foxworth Hall Cathy, Chris, Cory, and Carrie are locked in the attic where they will stay for three years. The longer she stays in the attic the more Cathy wonders if her Mother is being truthful for her reason of locking her children in the attic and starts to join Chris on expeditions outside the attic. This is how they discover that there is a new man in Corrine’s life and she plans to marry him. 

When they are in the attic though Cathy starts to replace Corrine as Cory and Carrie’s Mother and starts to fall in love with her brother Chris and eventually she and Chris have sex. This is something that Chris regrets and apologizes to Cathy for since he believes that he raped her. Cathy is unable to save her younger brother Cory from dying and strengthens her resolve to save herself as well as Chris and Carrie. Shortly after their Mother’s second marriage Cathy discovers that they have been fed poisoned doughnuts and that the powdered sugar on the doughnuts has been laced with arsenic. The three surviving Dollanganger children escape a short time after this. 

In Petals on the Wind Cathy, Chris, and Carrie are adopted by a doctor named Paul Sheffield who Cathy begins to develop feelings for. Paul puts all three children in school and it’s at her ballet classes that Cathy meets Julian Marquet who she eventually becomes dancing partners with and later marries and has his son shortly after he is killed in a car accident which eerily similar to how her Father died. Carrie also becomes engaged to Alex Rockingham a minister in training, but she commits suicide by putting arsenic on powdered doughnuts after being unable to tell him that she was molested by Julian. 

Following the death of her husband Cathy begins again to plot revenge against her Mother by seducing her second husband Bart Winslow and announcing her pregnancy at the annual Christmas Party at Foxworth Hall shortly before the house is burned down which kills Bart and the Grandmother in the process. 

If There Be Thorns and Seeds of Yesterday focus more on Cathy’s sons Jory (Julian’s son) and Bart (Bart Winslow’s son) after she has married her older brother Chris who took Paul Sheffield’s name before the doctor’s death. Cathy is no longer able to dance after a knee injury, but teaches classes instead. She is also reunited with her Mother Corrine for a short time before her death in a fire started by John Amos who had continued on as a Foxworth butler. 

Cathy eventually returns a newly rebuilt Foxworth Hall that was constructed by her younger son Bart and only plans to stay until his twenty-fifth birthday where he will gain his inheritance. Instead she ends up staying until Jory heals from an injury sustained at Bart’s birthday party, then until the birth of Jory’s twin children, then until a subtitle care giver for the children can be found after Jory’s wife deserts him, and only leaves after Chris is killed in a car accident after looking for a new house for him and Cathy to live in with Jory and the children. And she doesn’t walk out the front door, but instead goes up to the attic and dies of a broken heart so she can finally be reunited with Cory, Carrie, and Chris.
