The woman who lives in the memory is cowardly. She has no courage to struggle to survive and committed suicide. Men have to say that they are great. Children have not seen the world well. Men reject the idea of women taking their children to suicide. He took the child to support him all the way, and then the child saw an ugly world all the way down. Although what the man does is very contradictory, he teaches the children to learn to be indifferent and self-protection along the way, and hopes that the children can be kind and brave. In the end, the man died, he did not take the child away, and the child continued toward hope with another family of four + a dog who had been following them (that beetle has already shown that the earth is coming back to life). Maybe this is the best ending for the boy to follow that family.
After reading it, I kept thinking, if I was in that end of the world, would I be as cowardly as that woman?
However, the little boy went with that family, which is the sublimation of the whole drama. If you struggle to survive, you will always see hope.
