Do you believe it is significant that Kim's fiancée is named Hope? Why is it significant?

Consider the change in Kim's attitude toward the house between the time that he left for Europe and the time he returned after the People article was published. Can you explain this change in attitude? Has he really forgotten the bad things that have happened in the house?
