The possibility that he’ll revert to whatever it was he was enrages and repels his wife Peggy too (played by Amy Adams with a frightening chilliness I’ve never seen from her before). Of course if he reverts, she’ll revert along with him, and that makes her all the more determined to control him, keep him going, and drive Quell from their inner circle. If this was a fairy tale, we’d discover that the Dodds are a pair of enchanted toads desperately afraid that the magic allowing them to pass as human would wear off any second and Quell would be the Jack who comes along to steal their gold and break the spell.---from my review of The Master, Caution: Genius at Work.
