In the play, three of the four members of the Afghan family were killed by Afghan soldiers. Finally, the woman picked up the bomb and died with the five American soldiers.
I see the same question as many people here. Why do women die with American soldiers?
This problem is actually very similar to the problem in real life.
It's like a boss in a company who squeezes employees excessively, with low wages and heavy workload. At this time, one employee protests, but in the end, everyone is punished together. When faced with this situation, many people will react to the situation. There is resentment in the protester. This is actually the same as the plot in the movie.
When many people are forced to be in a predicament, when a person's kind action does not usher in a happy ending, but instead makes the situation more passive, most people only care about those who make the situation worse.
The Afghanistan in the movie and the boss in the short story are the source of this environment, but their status is difficult to shake, and although the environment is harsh, people will eventually adapt.
At this time, someone with good intentions exacerbated this evil. In reality, people only care about the result, and the quality of the result will determine all meanings.
That's my understanding of the last woman's behavior.
