The translation of the play title is so confusing. It's been a while since I watched it, and I always think of this show. In the context of the Great Depression in the United States, the heroine, mildred, is a daughter of success and daughter of failure. Opened the restaurant because her daughter looked down on her work as a waiter. However, her daughter still looked down on her. In the end, she was brutally murdered by her daughter, her business was ruined, and her husband was robbed.
I've been wondering why the eldest daughter can be so vicious? The conductor teacher said that her daughter is a beautiful and poisonous tongue. Is it because she was born so cold and vicious or is it caused by the day after tomorrow? I think the eldest daughter is more like a mother, and the younger daughter is more like a father. The eldest daughter is extremely smart, sensitive, snobbish, and has high self-esteem. Just like mom. The little daughter is as warm as an angel, as well as her father, and she still waits by the heroine's side in the end. The father's departure and the sister's death completely killed the tender part of veda. She looked down on her mother always relying on men and her greasy work. She hated her mother for driving her father away, and hated her mother for going out on a date with a man and not showing up in time when her sister was sick. Hate mom and that man named Willy. Also jealous of Mom and Monty Beragon. These emotions had no one to guide her properly in time. My mother even agreed that the waiter was a very low job, but did not see that it was such a job that depended on her own hands to support the mother and daughter when they were in the most difficult time. This was praiseworthy labor. Nor did she tell her that her mother was indeed out of town on a date that night. But my mother is just an ordinary person with her own normal physical and psychological needs. She didn't know that her sister would get sick at this time. Mom would never know that her sister was sick without being by her side. Veda goes farther and farther with its own "smartness" and goes further and further. Can't pull it back. If their family can live normally, there will be no mishaps in the middle. It is very likely that she will also grow into a middle-upper-class lady with a high self-esteem, but she should not become a vicious woman like a scorpion.
Midred wants to make her daughters live an elegant life. Even if she has to work as a waiter or even open a restaurant for life, she still looks down on such a job just like her daughter. An elegant daughter is something to be shown off like her status symbol, and as her daughter said, she has always wanted to control her. Does she love her daughter? Of course. However, the delicate battle between the mother and the daughter to the final fight proves that the daughter did not receive her love, and she finally paid her mother's love wrong. Beautiful viper, let her go!
