In the play, every female character is in a weak, evaluated and selected state. The naked physical violence and the undercurrent of verbal violence all show the discrimination and objectification of women in this society. Even a very successful woman in her career has to face the harm caused by rumors. What counts with all the efforts of women, career success, selfless maternal love, giving up self for the sake of the family, in the patriarchal world, these are just what women should do. What is even more ironic is that not only men think this way, but women are also adding fuel to jealousy . What an ironic story, every male character in the play has a very dick side, although women have one or another flaws on the surface, they are just character flaws, crushing all male characters in front of morality and right and wrong, and More tolerant, more understanding, more able to recognize yourself, save yourself, and save others. Of course, this is also a character design deliberately made to highlight the theme.
As a woman, watching it is very bad, I just hope that in the real world, women can respond to discrimination in such a "brutal" way.
