In the second episode, the lines at the end are very beautiful, descending to the basement, to get the knowledge, it can be noticed that the author has always taken into account the medicine, customs, customs, and women of the time as the carrier of folk culture, because of the hopelessness of life, the development of divination , prophecies, superstitions, herbal medicine, legends and more. And even safety awareness and so on. Very dissatisfied with Mary's ending. Hasty haste is unconscionable
The third episode is very good. Because the narrative of the story no longer feels deliberate. The atmosphere reveals some serenity and peace in sadness. That great misfortune to come portends tragedy everywhere. The basement, the giant white hydrangea, and the most interesting character, James. Boy jumping/walking on the balance beam on both feet, hungry for attention. His feet transmit more than his mouth.
In episode four, the pace has clearly slowed down. But why did Mary's story end in a hurry, while the later stories were deliberately lengthened? This episode feels a kind of technical literary style. The headless angel has a strong sense of technology, whether as an image or as a logic "I really saw the sheets in the yard the next day". Also, every episode has something about politics/feminist, the ending of this episode being hugged by multiple men is very contrived. It is also very deliberate about the owner must be a hunter. The owner doesn't have to be a maid Hunter, it's even more cruel. The previous young master and this old master do not have to be
The chaotic feel of the fifth episode is more pronounced. The reunion with the old man can be said to be a very cliché accident. I also question the doctor's sexual fantasies. In addition, James' front-to-back transition is very incongruous. His motives could not be explained. It's more than one episode. As for why the motives and logic are more strange, why one uses an axe and the other uses a pistol?
I don't like the way the 6th episode is hypnotically unraveling the mystery. Dual personalities are clichés as the answer to a mystery.
I love the contrast at the end of the episode regarding Husband J and the Doctor's listening. Regarding the relationship between her and Nancy, I don't think it's well laid out. At least I think the book should have a better explanation of why Nancy became part of her spiritual world. In addition, her relationship with the doctor is also very interesting. The doctor ended up being an empty shell, and grace had two souls. Her favorite person to confide in is actually a doctor, followed by her husband J. She said she felt useful in the narrative.
Her relationship with the doctor is a bit like love. But this relationship is too overlapping.
The psychiatrist who comes to see the doctor at the end seems to be the one who molested Grace.
