The Handmaid's Tale sister
Margaret Underwood wrote "The Handmaid's Tale" in 1985 and published the classic novel "Alias Grace" in 1996 (the episode titled "Double Grace"). Awakening of female consciousness.
But the difference is that "The Handmaid's Tale" is now a fictional future hundreds of years later, "Double Grace" is based on the past - Canada in 1843, and adapted from real events.
The protagonist is the most notorious female murderer in Canadian history, Grace Marx .
Grace immigrated to Canada from Ireland with her parents as a child.
The mother died in the cabin of the ship during the immigration process, and the father was alcoholic and violent, hitting Grace and several other children at every turn.
Later, her father sent Grace to a wealthy family as a maid.
When Grace was 15, she was charged with the murders of her employer, Thomas Kennell, and her lover, housekeeper Nancy Montgomery.
Also on trial with her was the family's groom, James.
In the end, the groom was hanged, and Grace escaped the death penalty and was sentenced to life in prison.
At the time, the murder caused a national sensation.
The outside world's evaluation of Grace was mixed and controversial.
Some believe she is just an "unwitting lamb", others think she is a ruthless "devil" in sheep's clothing.
But what happened in this murder case, no one knows.
The play begins with Grace's monologue as she looks in the mirror:
"I'm thinking of all the words they use to describe me, they say I'm a wicked witch; they say I'm an innocent victim of a villain; they say I'm too stupid to know how to deal with it; they say I dress appropriately It was stolen from a female corpse; said I was gloomy and grumpy, said my appearance was better than my humble identity, said I was a good girl with a docile personality and harmless, said I was cunning and deceitful ; say I'm dull-headed, only a little better than an idiot. But how can I be all of the above at the same time?"
She added, "I'd rather be a female murderer than a murderer - if that's the only option I have."
Even though it's been years since the murders, Grace is still the talk of the town.
As Edgar Allan Poe said: "Death, and beautiful women, are without doubt the most poetic subjects in the world".
The nobles are bewildered and curious about Grace like watching monkeys in a zoo, and the church treats her as an innocent suffering girl and wants to free her.
Later, the church invited Jordan, an American psychiatrist, in the hope that he could dig out Grace's hidden secrets and find a proof of Grace's innocence.
In order to restart Grace's memory, Jordan adopts the idea of physical connection.
Brought apples for Grace for the first time.
Because of the legend that there was an apple tree in the Garden of Eden, which could distinguish between good and evil, Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden by God for stealing apples.
The second time, he brought a beet.
Why beets? Because the cellar where the body was hidden was once filled with beets.
Gradually, the two developed from the initial mutual defense to a knee-jerk conversation. Grace told Dr. Jordan about her upbringing, family encounters, secrets of her best friend, and even the murder case. .
This process is like another form of love, and the doctor who wants to heal people instead falls into an incurable disease.
Also like a game, no one wins this war completely.
In real history, Grace was acquitted after thirty years in prison.
Still as I said before, 30 years later, no one knows what happened in this murder case.
In The Handmaid's Tale, the woman is a docile body with a womb that walks on two legs.
In Two-Face Grace, a woman has only two options—become a servant or become a prostitute.
Although the times are different, without exception, women are accessories of men.
Maybe Grace chose the third way and became an awakened female murderer.
"Double-Faced Grace" was taken over by Netflix, and it was broadcast in November 2017, with a total of six episodes, and the juice source is ready for everyone.
