Uneasy status quo

To be honest, I didn't understand "Beauty in the Day" until the end. What is the metaphor given by the final dream? Sevrina
is a middle-class noble lady, young, beautiful, gentle and submissive, and her husband is young, promising, gentle and considerate. Logically speaking, how can people who have such a life be dissatisfied? However, people's desires are always inexhaustible, and it is this comfortable and comfortable life that gave birth to Severina's desire for "stimulation", especially in sex (thinking that some people prefer to watch porn... live Empty!). It is impossible for her husband who always smiles and takes care of her like a father and brother to "satisfy" her needs, and Severina herself cannot be in the active position due to her character and upbringing. Just at this time, a friend who has been secretly pursuing his husband told him the location of a high-end brothel. Sevrina has found a place to satisfy her inner desires, and her days of being a lady and a prostitute provide balance in her life, but, because her husband and friends smash her double identity and a gangster's obsession with her. The entanglement caused her to withdraw. However, her husband was eventually shot by the hooligan and turned into a vegetative state, and her husband's friend also told her husband about Sevrina's prostitution. Dreaming that I hope to live a comfortable, comfortable and happy life with my husband
, I always feel that if Sevrina is not so uneasy about the status quo, and the life of a middle-class lady is empty and boring, her husband will not suffer so inexplicably...
Desire It is unavoidable, but if you can't control yourself even if you fall into the abyss of desire, it will be irreversible.
