Question: Why did Howard and Charlotte throw the drinking glasses into the fireplace on their anniversaries?
Answer: It's an old custom. Throwing a glass into a fireplace and smashing it after drinking a toast is supposed to indicate that nothing can ever exceed that toast's importance. It ensures that the glass will never be used for another toast or even for an ordinary drink that would lessen what the previous toast represented.

Question: Mrs. Teleton says that she won't divorce her husband, nor allow him to "obtain a divorce." What is the difference?
Answer: It's because he considers the items in his shop as his personal treasured possessions rather than items to be sold for profit. That was why he murdered his wife for the insurance money rather than part with anything.
