Water For Elephants Summary
The head trainer, August, is a brutal man who abuses the animals in
his care (such as the new elephant Rosie) and the people around him.
Alternately, he can be utterly charming. Jacob develops a guarded
relationship with August and his wife, Marlena, with whom Jacob falls in
love. August is suspicious of their relationship and beats Marlena and
Jacob. Marlena subsequently leaves August and stays at a hotel while
she's not performing. Uncle Al then informs Jacob that August is a
paranoid schizophrenic and then utters a threat: reunite August and Marlena as a happily married couple or Walter and Camel get red-lighted. A few days later after discovering that August has tried to see
Marlena, Jacob visits her in her hotel room. Soon after he comforts her
however, the couple sleeps together and the two soon declare their love
for each other. Marlena soon returns to the circus to perform (and also
to have secret meetings with Jacob), but refuses to have August near
her, which makes Uncle Al furious. She also discovers that she is
pregnant.
