Baptiste
Marguerite is Baptiste’s wife and Theodore’s mother. Although Raymond initially finds Marguerite to be rude and unfeeling, he later realizes that her prickly demeanor is actually an expression of disgust at her husband’s murderous schemes. In fact, Marguerite herself is a victim of Baptiste, who keeps her under his control by threatening to harm her sons if she ever tries to run away. Marguerite discreetly alerts Raymond to Baptiste’s plot to murder and rob Raymond and the other travelers, enabling Raymond to murder Baptiste and orchestrate his would-be victims’ escape.
