I grew up in the 70s/80s in a country that come out of Dictatorship which impacted in what we were allowed and not allowed to do.

none of the characters forced Rosemary to accept an offer and they acted on their own interests. . Lee Pai was honest that he could not help or wouldn't help. ultimately the couple should have been open and honest with each other and discuss their difficulties.

As a Portuguese I was brought up on a traditional catholic community. Portugal was on under dictatorship for 30 years which ended in 1975. My parents lived 30 years of their lives under this regime and the society was pretty much controlled by the state and the church.
