What we are attesting to here is a hopeful Mona, a one that gives the benefit of the doubt…. I miss the old, bitter, hopeless Mona where said what I only dreamed of … REALITY on a cold platter, the way it should be served….
In my opinion, Mr Smokey is Monas inner thoughts with herself (although i have no one doubt that Mr. Smokey is real and talks), thus it appears that deep down inside she knows what the truth is, what Rauls real motivations are but she chooses not to believe, she hopes and breathes upon the happiness that “raul loves me” brings. Sad.
Same feelings goes here…
