Rose is deeply wounded by Troy's affair and although they continue living in the Same house, their loving relationship as husband and wife is over. Rose agrees to raise the child, Raynell, because she does not believe that the child should suffer for the sin of her parents. She substitutes religion for the companionship of marriage, and by the time Raynell is born, Rose has become an active member of her church. It is Rose who calls for family unity and healing at the play's end, she urges all the family members and friends to forgive and remember the good things about Troy.
