Wendy and Lara (spoiler alert)

I want to say a few words about Wendy and Lara. I think Lara is the only character in the whole show whose IQ and EQ are fully online. Although her role is not as heavy as Wendy, she is much more pleasing than Wendy. Although I like Lara very much and hate Wendy very much, I know that I am actually more like Wendy than Lara. From the play, we don’t know Wendy’s family background, but I think Wendy should be the kind that grew up in a warm and harmonious environment where he grew up, learning to be among the best, and everything is smooth sailing. Such a person feels that his existence is In order to find the so-called "meaning" in my heart, and this "meaning" must come from work and career, family and husband, although not secondary, are definitely not more important than "meaning". In short, a new woman who is absolutely in line with feminist political correctness. ——Such women are understandable, but they often have a fatal flaw that they don’t know what they want or what the price of what they want is. If you want to get meaning from your career, then when your career and family conflict, you will inevitably sacrifice your family and hurt your family (because you have to choose your career). At this time, both men and women, if you still care about your family and family, you should be aware of the harm you have caused them, or ask for patience and forgiveness, or find other solutions. If you don't care anymore, you'll cut it off (Dollar Bill Stearn simply revealed to his wife the fact that he has a junior for his own business). But Wendy takes it for granted that his career is more important than her husband’s. Her husband should recuse instead of her resigning. He refuses to admit that his selfishness has brought pain to her husband. He takes advantage of his husband’s weakness in front of her. He gave up. If a feminist wants to say why Wendy should give in, I just want to say, think about it in another way, if your husband treats you like Wendy to her husband, how would you react? Only men to women? What about equality between men and women?
Maybe some people would say that Wendy is like this. They are willing to fight one S and M, then I want to say that Wendy is not a good S who controls everything. Although she is a psychologist who seems to know everything, she actually made mistakes on the two men closest to her. If she really knew Chuck this way, would she casually tell him her computer password and put the computer on the bed casually? If she really knew Bobby so well, wouldn't she have guessed that he would definitely give her a hand? She thinks she is the big boss of life and understands everyone’s psychology. The sudden betrayal surprised her. This is an easy mistake made by alpha females (and alpha males) like her. The handling of interpersonal relationships is very bad). Even if she is a completely responsible and honest expert in her profession, it is doubtful. Whether her relationship with Bobby and the "treatment method" violate the professional standards and ethics of a psychotherapist, I am not an expert and will not discuss it, but Wendy has such a strong sense of substitution and regards this matter as personal. How not professional.

On the other hand, Lara is easy for many people to think of her as a woman who does everything for money and status, who regards her husband as the sky, has no personality and no career, I think she is not. First of all, her ultimate goal is definitely not money and status. When Bobby’s suffering seemed to be about to fail, more than one person in the play reminded her that the best choice for her and her children was to divorce Bobby, because without a prenuptial agreement, Lara would definitely get a large sum of money. From a moral point of view, she can also say that she is thinking about the future of her child, which can be described as fame and fortune. However, even if she was about to start an escape career and leave the United States forever, she did not abandon Bobby (not even willing to let the children go to school under a pseudonym). If this is not love, I don't know what it is. Second, Lara's IQ and methods needless to say, everyone can see it. Although she likes to put ugly things on the front (seems like she likes to threaten others at all times), this is not a kind of frankness and honesty, it is better than smiling and politely stabbing you in the back. Third, she is not without a career. She has a one-Michelin-star restaurant and farm that she and her family worked so hard to manage. However, when the career and family conflicted, she decisively chose to interrupt her career and protect her family, even though Bobby persuaded her not to Abandon restaurants and farms. Because she knows that her career can be restarted at any time, but if the family can't keep it, it will never be. People are always more important than things themselves. This is what Wendy seems to understand but actually doesn't understand, and it is also the source of her EQ arrears. Part of Lara's life meaning comes from her career, but a more important part comes from her husband, children and siblings, so she won their love, trust and respect. I thought her sister would turn her face after she sold the restaurant and farm, but in fact she didn't. In fact, it couldn't be more reasonable when you think about it. This Irish immigrant family with five brothers and sisters knew from an early age that there would be a future through hard work, unity and struggle. In the face of a crisis, they will not only think of themselves. They will know that although their sister's decision has harmed their own interests for the time being, they will never harm them for the rest of their lives. It is not the sister's selfish decision to close the restaurant, but the best decision for the overall situation. . This is a family that knows how to sacrifice for the family. It is far different from Wendy and incompatible with modern individualist ethics. And only Lara can become a real boss in the family.

You can say that all the money Bobby makes is ill-gotten wealth (seriously?) and Lara defends such a bad guy as Bobby to help him. But when I saw her sternly apologize because the children complained about the omelette made by the chef, and took them to the beach to pick up clams and teach them to cherish the fruits of other people’s labor, when I saw her insisting on asking When I asked the children to wrap Christmas presents for the children of the poor and almost quarreled with Bobby, I couldn’t help but think that Lara was a very decent person, and I could see the virtues in her (not seen in Wendy) from time to time. Of flash.
