We don't need this great carol

Inexplicably paying for love.
Why is it always women who pay, and only men can enjoy the payment of love?
Beth's vomiting after running off the bus amply illustrates that this ridiculous debauchery was not part of her life, that self-compulsion in the name of love was not soothing to her soul that her God was no longer willing to be with her. She talks.
At the end of the bell, the men felt very relieved, the miracle appeared, Beth was innocent, and the gods were moved by her. I was angry when I saw such a comforting ending, perhaps because I was unbelieving and could not understand the significance of miracles. I only knew that the girl with the clear eyes of a child was raped to death by someone of the same sex as her lover. I only know this fact.
Girls grew up listening to Cinderella and Hai's daughter, you need a prince, you need to be loved, you don't need to be yourself, you don't need to experience wind and rain to sharpen yourself, (you don't need to be independent, then men will have pressure, no man wants you There are only lovers in your world, and look, Beth doesn't want to live without a husband. It seems that a girl's mission since she was a girl is to find a man, a person who can rely on her for life, and the meaning of her whole life is her husband. The great Beth gave up her reputation and even her life for love, because she couldn't live without him.
I'd rather see a witch burned to death than such a hymn of love.
