Watching movies with psychological theories brings a lot of thought. The heroine is tortured by social moral norms and self-emotional conflicts, punishes herself and longs for freedom, which is self-release and liberation. Sure enough, it is a typical case of psychological counseling. Looking forward to discussing with the classmates in the salon, there are indeed a lot of misunderstandings.

Question 1: What was Miss Hu's motivation from avoiding Charles intentionally to telling her inner secret? What's the incentive? Wouldn't it be just love, but a kind of trust?
Question 2: She has been secretly going to the woods to reflect on her own, why did she suddenly decide to sway in front of her acquaintances, wanting to declare "I violated the constraints of the master and the world"? Why? self-punishment? Challenge the world?
Question 3: The identity that reappeared three years later was Mrs. XX, but she said she was not married, was a widow, and had property inheritance. Don't understand, don't understand or don't understand, waiting for explanation.
