Uriel 16–Who does Rosalie marry at the end? Why is this surprising? Ch 27

In “Death of the Nile” by Agatha Christie we are introduced to various characters, one of them being Rosalie Otterbourne. Rosalie is the daughter of Salome Otterbourne and throughout the novel, Rosalie ends up falling in love with Tim Allerton, who is the son of Mrs. Allerton. Rosalie later on ends up marrying Tim but their love story is kind of weird and surprising throughout. The reason why it’s so surprising Rosalie would marry Tim is due to a couple of reasons: first, Tim’s first impressions of Rosalie was that she seemed to be a bit “sulky” but when he started to get to know her he started to see another side of her which made him harbor feelings for Rosalie. Second, Tim was also not as innocent himself and was outed for stealing Linnet’s pearls; which made Rosalie question his morals as to why he would steal. Despite seeing the negative side of Tim, Rosalie still gave him a chance and married him, hence why it was so surprising towards the end.
