The movie "Mrs." is based on Wilde's "Mrs. Windermere's Fan." From the name, it is not difficult to see the importance of "fan" as a prop in the movie.
Robert and Irene first met in a shop, and Robert was picking out a birthday present for his wife. At this time, Erin recommended a fan in a very tempting way, and it was because of her recommendation that Robert decided to give it to his wife Meg as a gift. This is the beginning of the misunderstanding between the audience and other characters in the play, and I also thought that the fan was similar to the symbol of their love token.
The second time was on Meg's birthday. Before that, they were still arguing over Irene, and when the fan appeared in front of Meg's eyes, her anger was instantly extinguished, and her previous unpleasantness was forgotten.
And the third appearance is attached with a status symbol. The fan appeared on John's yacht, and Robert thought for a moment that Meg was in love with someone else. While the audience waited for Meg to show up to explain it all, Erin showed up, acknowledging everything, including Tup's disappointment. Afterwards, before Irene left, she came to see Meg on the grounds of returning the fan.
The last time is at the end, when Mrs. Erin got on the plane and saw the fan in front of the position, there are actually two meanings. The first is to imply that the passenger next to him who has been covering his face with a newspaper is Tup (and it turned out to be it), and the second is to say forgiveness or concern from Meg. For Erin, the possible feeling was much deeper.
The director skillfully used the fan throughout the whole film, making it play a key role in the plot.
