Toto's character belongs to the "acceptance direction", and all the good things come from the outside-from Alice. He obeyed Alice’s advice and was fascinated by her. He accepted her opinions and did not express them to sabotage. For example, when her father died in a crash, Alice encouraged her mother to go to the scene of the crash and let herself and Toto stay at home. She took the initiative to become independent. , Possessing power, makes Toto obsessed with her, obeyed everything, bought vegetables, refused to go to summer camp. It is difficult to say a "no" to Alice, and he will eventually fall into the contradiction between loyalty and dominance, jealous and jealous. The hatred made him anxious and confused, and unreasonably asked Alice to go to Alfred's house to set fire to prove his love.
And Alice shows a strong sense of responsibility everywhere. Her character is "creative orientation." She has experienced that she is the embodiment of power and an actor. So Allie, with a trace of stubbornness that outsiders could not invade and incomprehensible, moved forward at her own speed, rushing to Fred’s garage with a gasoline can, and destroyed herself in order to defend her home and prove to Toto. Love. Also planted the seeds of Toto's insistence on revenge in the future.
The mode of getting along between the two cannot be explained by the Oedipus plot of Oedipus alone. They need each other and complement each other. Toto's cowardice survived, and Alice's intrepidity was practiced. Alice's spontaneous power was so strong that it was self-defeating, which supported Toto's emotions. As Fromm said: "Everyone has the ability to love, but it is the most difficult thing to achieve this ability. A person does not accidentally be loved, a person can only produce love by relying on the power of his own love." When the characters in the play are all approaching the end, the final scene of the movie repeats: Alice is still smiling, wearing a goose yellow dress in a moving car, blowing a small horn, and singing a ballad briskly. It seemed to be a song of youth, constantly wafting up.
