Mildred hopes to have a "noble" life and looks down on the people at the bottom. But all these illusions were shattered before her husband went bankrupt and the financial crisis. At the beginning, in order to solve the problem of food and clothing, she finally accepted "cheap" labor work. However, under the pressure of her daughter, a daughter who thinks she is superior, she found an excuse of "I did this job to learn how to run bussiness". It was this coincidence that she started her business career and luckily she succeeded.
From start to finish, Mildred wanted to be able to put two
When her daughter was trained to become a person in the upper class, she also pinned her dream on her.
Mildred forced Bert to leave him, used Wally to help with business, and used Monty to hope to get into high society. She later found out how shameless and hypocritical the upper class was, and she threw out Monty. Later, Monty was also used to save the relationship with Veda.
Monty didn't like Mildred's mind too much, he only liked Mildred's body. But what I didn't expect was that he was being used all the time. Mildred didn't have any affection for Monty except to use it. Wally is very similar to Monty, both just like the appearance of this woman, but the difference is that Wally is a shrewd businessman, and he is just as careful with Mildred as he was with Bert in his own interests.
Veda, a woman who always thinks she is superior, is tired of her mother's little thoughts, those unbearable things, tired of her mother's "lies", and tired of the background of this small town family. She wanted to be a high-class person, a polished person. So she loves people like Monty, hates her mother, and does not hesitate to hurt her to fulfill her dream.
Mildred never imagined that her mother's love had developed such a snake, and it was backlashed. In the end, it was inevitable that the two parted ways. At the end, when she had nothing, she said to Bert, "I didn't know I was pregnant with a child at that time, but I was willing to marry you, which shows that I really love you." Bert froze and smiled, But then, with a tired but sincere look in his eyes, he said "Me too." Mildred had Bert from start to finish.
In fact, it is difficult to assess whose fault is such a tragedy and what went wrong. But in fact, the story was doomed to such a tragedy from the very beginning.
Life is like a besieged city. You want to go in outside the city, and you feel that the people in the city are higher than those outside. But when you get to the city, you find things that are dirty, things that you can't see outside the city. You find that there is no one in the city and the outsider alike. So you went out of the city again, but this time you no longer envied the people in the city. You stayed safe and sound outside the city, where it started.
