In my opinion, Sophie's dyslexia caused her to be rejected by the entire symbol system. The ability to use language is cut in half by a symbol like the TV in the film, one side is "popular" listening and speaking, and the other is "higher" reading and writing (you can see the attitude of the old middle class represented by the father) , What a resistance analphabète). Sophie "does not understand the rules". But unlike the child in the emperor's new clothes, her subjectivity seems to want to hide her stupidity together. That kid can say bluntly: But he has no clothes on? Sophie used a lot of repetition: Je ne sais pas (I don't know) this subjective action to hide her "stupidity".
On the other hand, when Melinda said to her: "You have dyslexia", for Sophie, this is not a shame caused by revelation, but an open door to emptiness. What used to resist "language anxiety" was shattered, and she had to face the abyss. The smell in "Parasite" is similar to this one, but it is completely class in the former.
Jeanne is the complete opposite. She reads and reads, and even knows Madame les liviere's past, so that she has a clear understanding of the so-called middle class and even the appearance produced by society from the inside out, from unconscious language to appearance. She realized that the forces that dominate the civilized world—the secular middle-class ideology and religious Catholicism—are essentially split, which means that they are not a unified "field." For example, on the way to collect clothes for the poor, she found (in fact, she found out during the previous cleaning of clothes) that a lot of clothes were torn, so she threw those clothes there on the spot-in the middle class. Of course it is very impolite, but behind it is the disgusting split behind their ideology of treating the poor. Moreover, it was reprimanded by the priest for a while. It was obvious that the church did not want the middle class—the parents of food and clothing to be sad, so they had to make the poor or these volunteers sad. Isn't it another ridiculous division?
The last rebellion, or ritual, seems to me completely unconscious for Sophie, but for Jeanne it is a complete symbolic rebellion, like shredding clothes, throwing chocolate on the bed using a jar as a penis, and so on. This situation continued until Jeanne was threatened by Mr. Les Liviere, who had been driven over. Regarding this change, on the one hand, Sophie’s dyslexia has been exposed, and a moat that breaks with the existing symbol system has been formed-the door no longer exists, there is nothing to hide; on the other hand, in fact Sophie and Jeanne A small "murder community" was formed between them. It is not a linguistic symbol that connects and maintains this community, but a statement, a statement of the respective accusations of murder. When Jeanne was threatened, Sophie shot almost without hesitation. This proves once again that Sophie has no idea about the symbolic order of the "outside". In the end les liviere's family died, and the two shot twice at the book, destroying the text as a tool of class oppression.
