Incompetence is shame. When the upper level defines what it means to be able, shame has been injected into the hearts of the incompetent and incompetent people at the lower level, and everyone is ashamed of their incompetence or inability. Every time the heroine hides her illiteracy, she is accompanied by a sense of shame. This sense of shame is created by the upper class. No matter how they treat the heroine preferentially, it is impossible to erase it. The closer to the problem of illiterate, the more kindness is expressed by others on this issue, the more embarrassed the heroine is, and the more she feels that the society has given her to her. humiliation. This is class antagonism and a tragedy. If a person wants to become an upper-class person and live the life of an upper-class person, then she is likely to like the upper-class person because of empathy. He is likely to climb the social ladder, try to make a class jump, thank others for giving her the opportunity, the opportunity to read, learn Opportunity. If you hate them, you'll talk before killing people, and you'll humiliate each other. The heroine didn't. She neither hated nor liked the employer's family. What she hates is the class behind her employer. The heroine represents the nihilistic negativity in the proletariat. She is able to deny specific individuals without passion and is not drawn by passion, but because of her illiteracy, she cannot make her negation have a specific program and content. Secondly, most people are unworthy of the employer's death method. For example, they must be able to afford a maid and have a shotgun at home. It's absurd that the rich have more ways to die than the poor. Finally, don't underestimate the woman with the gun. The gun is a weapon that can ignore the difference in physique. It is the arrogance of the upper-class people to see someone holding a gun and order the other person to put it down. It is so arrogant that sometimes you don’t know what to fear. Follow your own orders. He must have been annoyed before he died, "I am obviously a strong man, why was I killed by the weak?"
