real feminism

This piece of real feminism. It completely breaks the three models of female characters: virgin, mother, slut. You might think that if you replace the queen with the king, then the other two women would become classic "bad girls", but nope. 1 This is the queen, not the king. The contradictory mixture of friendship and lust between women is completely different from the traditional relationship between men and women. 2 "Evil girl" only loves profit on the surface, but in the end, she will bow down for a certain man. This male-perspective smugness has permeated the entire history of mass entertainment. But our Abigail is not, her husband's only meaning is to give her social status, the rest is equivalent to a dog. She's a "person", her core drive is power, she'll fail (after all, she's no match for fate), but won't get distracted by things that don't matter (like her husband).
