Marriage in Rosemary’s Baby What is marriage? Marriage is when two people have been with each other for a period of time and feel they are the ones that only death will do them apart, and feel that they can honestly count on each other no matter what.

In movies especially because it is more influential, for example in the movie Rosemary’s baby, the marriage between Rosemary and Guy. Rosemary’s Baby is a horror movie which is scary, many evil events happens in the movie but the scariest thing is Rosemary’s and Guy’s marriage. …show more content…
Guy is trying to apologize for the way his been acting, and submissively tells her: “Even if I'm Mr. Yamaha for the rest of my days, I'm gonna stop giving you the short end of the stick.” And then he proposes, “Let's have a baby, all right?” something that Rosemary wants more than anything but so does the coven. Guy even suggests which days they should start having sex, he circled the days on the calendar. This propose to have a baby is the coven’s idea, because only rosemary would know when she is ovulating, it seems that the coven calculated it for him. A candlelight dinner with soft music playing, a cozy fire in the fireplace, all to serve as a start for an evening of love-making.

After a few scoops of the dessert, Rosemary taste as she puts it a “chalky under taste” and she stops eating it, but Guy insists that she eats, for her to be neighborly and orders her to eat it because “The old bat slaved all day” that’s like talking to a child that does not want to eat something it does not like.

Guy is not making love to her, he is literally raping her because she is unconscious and tied up. Basically this beast-like, resembles the devil, Guy is the ‘devil.’ This is the husband Guy has become to Rosemary, a cocky and rapist who betrayed his wife, and sold her body, womb, and emotional well-being for fame and glory. The marriage between Guy and Rosemary is a horror. A husband that rapes his wife and the next day feels proud about it. As he puts it “It was kind of fun in a necrophile sort of way,” that is something only a monster would say to his wife. Rosemary does her job as a wife, she evens tries to shake it off the whole raping situation as if she’s making a big deal out of nothing. But an unbridgeable abyss has now
