Life is full of surprises

After reading "Fingersmith Love Picking", you will definitely feel that life is full of surprises.
In an interlocking conspiracy, the mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind. This is already exciting, making you unable to keep up with the sudden change of the situation and the sudden change. And the love between the two women was even more unexpected in this sinful attempt.
I don't want to repeat the same sighs as others. The moment Susan is locked up in an insane asylum, despair, fear, and shock involve her in collapse and madness. In the face of such a predicament, she instinctively struggled and called for help, still calling: Maud, Maud!
Although a few seconds ago, she was preparing to put Maud in such a tragic situation. Unexpectedly, he digs his own grave. But she still couldn't help looking at the only life-saving straw, the one who was staring at her indifferently, her beloved.
Still have the last shred of fantasy, doesn't Maud love her?
The moment the car door was closed, Maud's indifferent words rang out: You all think I'm so innocent and ignorant of the world. My sophistication is far more complex than you can imagine.
That sensitive, elegant, slightly neurotic girl. The shy, monotonous, imprisoned lady. She doesn't seem to understand what is deception and what is conspiracy. She asked Susan so innocently: Can you tell me, a bride, what needs to be done on the night of the bridal chamber?
However, at the end, Maud, who was still gentle and elegant, was in the study and said to Susan who came to her, "You don't know me." You don't know what I'm actually like.
Those past infiltrated in my uncle's erotic novels, those extraordinary calm and indifference. The gloom and darkness at the bottom of my heart. Childhood spent in a lunatic asylum. It's all hidden under the veneer of calm and ignorance.
But you will understand one day. We all have masks and how would we live without it.
Don't trust your eyes, your feelings too much. But don't be suspicious -- be like Susan. She loves deeply in hatred and tangled in contradictions. She never doubted her adoptive mother: "She only took one month's money and raised me for many years. If that can't be called love, I don't know what love is."
Even in the tormented life, the mother is Susan's belief to survive. But the fact is that it was the person she trusted the most who put her in a state of doom and pushed her into the bottomless abyss.
Even if things are so bad sometimes, we still have to believe. You can doubt, but we have no choice but to believe. If you doubt all the emptiness, there will be no happy ending.
The adoptive mother and Maud actually still love Susan. Otherwise, they wouldn't have tried so hard to cover up the truth in front of her. Through all the trials and tribulations, Maud and Susan still love each other. We will go back and forth, go through hardships, and meet again.
Susan: What was written on those papers?
Maud: They're saying: how I want you. how to love you.
Once, how helpless.
