In Act 1, scene 4, why did Claire sell the house and what would be the consequence if she didn't? Was it purely for financial reasons?

What if Claire was merely trying to get Catherine to think
about her future without worrying about obligations? Catherine has spent the last 5
years making a selfless sacrifice, but has she perhaps instead been using that as a
reason not to step out in faith?  She doesn't have faith in herself, choosing to work
"privately" without the risk of others criticising her work if she were to do it in the
public forum of academia.


Catherine has been supporting
Claire this whole time.  Sometimes, especially when there is a chance that a person is
enabling the unhealthy choices of someone, that person needs to make some drastic
changes.


Claire never really intends to leave Catherine
homeless, but she does need to rip Catherine out of her comfort zone to get her to work
out her future.


Just a thought...welcoming
feedback...
