I have a quick question regarding the scene where Gwyneth's character gets attacked by the intruder sent by Martha. It is my understanding that Martha wants Helen to get pregnant from the beginning of the movie. So with that in mind, I never understood why the intruder that was sent by her would brutally cut Gwyneth's stomach which might jeopordize the baby's life. This never really made any sense to me anyone have any insight? Maybe I just am not getting the movie.

agreed. after she told him she was pregnant he still cut her stomach to just show her that he didnt care? && ensure that she didnt feel safe there.
but i also thought when she said that he looked suprised.. anyone else see this?

Martha finessed the situation from the start, just like Old Alice said, she's good at doing it all without any help from others. She poked holes in the diaphragm to get Helen pregnant, which made them get married, she got the farmer to scare Helen into moving her and Jackson back to Kilronan. I don't think the farmer was ever going to rape her, I think Martha hired him to put a scare into her, but I don't think she told him that Helen was pregnant. When she whispers that she's pregnant, he had a look of shock on his face and then just finished the job that he was hired to do. Attack her/scare her.
