It's a good book, but the look and feel is not very good. It is always easy to get confused and distracted, and it was very dull in the middle.
This is a story about the life of a murderer who madly wants to be famous, even if it has been infamous for thousands of years.
(Spoilers below)
1. The heroine was deceived and sexually assaulted since she was a child and was punished by her mother, which distorted her personality (she poisoned her mother to death in the later flashback, and her mother always disapproved of her going to the show)
2. In order to become famous, he married a playwright, (the playwright promised to write a play to make her famous), but found that he had no talent and could not write anything, so he began to write and commit murders one by one
3. The death of a prostitute was the first time she committed a crime. The narration in the film said that it was because she had to practice her hands, and prostitutes were weaker and easier to attack.
The death of the dwarf, one is because of her rudeness to her, and the other I personally think is that when the dwarf is gone, she can take the opportunity to replace his vacancy, so she can take the stage and become famous. Kill two birds with one stone.
The death of a Jew, I personally think that she misused a Jewish language on stage and was ridiculed by the crowd, which aroused dissatisfaction with the Jews.
The only thing that puzzles me is the death of the tailor's shop. Maybe I didn't watch it carefully. At the beginning of the film, does the original site of the tailor shop belong to the murderer of the highway murder case? After being occupied by a tailor's family, she felt it was a kind of sully, and then chose them to start? ? The reason is a bit vague
In the end, there are many reasons for poisoning her husband. One is that he can’t write the script, which is not helpful to his fame. Two, she has always supported him financially. The maid replaced herself. Fourth, the husband found the bloody shawl that she threw in the fireplace after killing people and didn't completely burn it, which means that she knew that she was a murderer.
Regarding the ending, my biggest confusion is, if you want to escape the crime and survive, and you mislead the detective step by step during this period, and point the finger at your husband as a murderer, why did you write a confession letter in the end?
If you just want to be famous, why not say everything in the first place? Are you worried that there is not enough drama, not enough sensation? ?
In short, it came down to maybe she wanted more drama, and in the end, she finally waited for the detective to come and write a confession letter, imagining the public uproar, and carving her name on the stone of history. However, the surprise and pain the inspector suffered alone did not make her wish. The name of the murderer still belongs to her husband, and she is just a wife who was poisoned because her husband cheated. Still being executed.
Many of them are personal understandings, and you are welcome to point out the wrong places.
