Hmm. I liked Vita, maybe because I disliked Dick and we saw her through his biased viewpoint. She seemed fairly typical for the time; her "crime" seemed to be wanting her husband to stop wallowing in indecision. She was bossy, sure, but someone had to be.

Any homophobia pretty much went over my head. I did think that the main reason Dick married Vita was to "prove" he wasn't gay.
