a door that blocks the world inside and life outside; a door that closes all hopes and turns into despair; a door The door allows women to engrave the "guilt" brand on their heads and die of old age...Who enters this door and becomes a degenerate girl? Who can break through the imprisonment and usher in his own life? A door is not an unbreakable barrier, or an insurmountable abyss, or a hell that will never see the sun forever, or when you forget to lock it, you can easily go out and embrace the grass, the forest, and the whole world; or just With a brass candlestick as a weapon, you can get the key; or at the expense of your own body, you can get some kind of privilege to open. However, opening the door and walking out of the asylum is not an eternal goodbye, not To leave completely, it is even just a concealed door, inside and outside the door, sometimes it is just two sides of the sinful world.
Why did Margaret become a victim after being raped by the form? Why did Bernadette just attract boys outside of school and become a degenerate girl? Why did Rose just get pregnant when she was unmarried but accept the fate of the child being adopted and sent to the Madeleine Abbey? It was this society and the world outside that pushed them in, calling them bitches, sluts, and depraved girls. Margaret was unable to resist during Kevin’s rape, and when she told all of this to her relatives who participated in the "Public Music Club", she thought she would punish Kevin, thought she would gain sympathy, but in the end she sacrificed herself. In this conservative and unfair patriarchal society; Bernadette only relies on her beauty to attract those boys. She has never slept with a man, but she cannot escape moral punishment; and Rose is pregnant despite being unmarried. Giving birth to a child is a departure from traditional morality, but in the eyes of parents who have lost love, she "committed a terrible sin", is not worthy of raising children, is not worthy of the care of parents, and is reduced to a degenerate person-losing her parents , Losing her child, losing her freedom, made her struggle desperately in the world inside that door.
Was sent to the monastery, the door was closed heavily, and the family was isolated from then on, and from then on, she changed into uniform clothes, and was called the Fallen Woman from then on. From then on, she woke up at 6 a.m. at 6:30 and prayed to work at 7 o’clock. From now on, she kept silent in silence. Labor washes away one's own sins, and from then on or all of my life will be spent here until I grow old and die. The monastery is a shelter. They become moral scum abandoned by the family and society. Here, they are more like sinners imprisoned here. Various rules make them lose all the dignity and freedom of life. Praying, laboring and sleeping every day, and washing their own souls every day, they can’t talk to any strangers, and across the iron door, when Christina’s sister comes with her son To see her, she can only watch from a distance, and can only talk through the necklace named "St. Christopher", which is the "phone" she cherishes so much that she is the only spiritual sustenance she feels happy at this time. But when Christina was taken to the Vernon Hospital as a lunatic, Rose saw her sister and children standing outside the door and told them where Christina was going, but was beaten with a whip for breaking the rules. In addition to being unable to talk to strangers outside, they couldn't even communicate with each other, and they couldn't have the so-called friendship. When Rose felt pain when her milk rose up, and Margaret helped her enter the bathroom, the woman next to her reminded her of the door : "If they see you become friends, they will skin you."
Without talking, without friendship, they are isolated in this cold, repressive and cruel world. They only need to work repeatedly every day, pray repeatedly, praise the Almighty Lord, thank the benevolent nun, and then be silent. Just sleep. But this holy place that cleansed their souls and sins has become another kind of sin precisely under the protection of power. "All the sins are no match for the sins here." The mothers and nuns here eat bread that is different from them. They treat the fallen girls as slaves to labor and as tools for making money, Bridget The rolls of banknotes were always hidden in the mother's tin, and when she couldn't find the key, she angered Rose and called her "stupid". In terms of labor, the nuns asked all the women to take off their clothes and stand naked in front of them, choosing who has the smallest breasts and who has the largest, who has the densest pubic hair and who has the strongest back. They turned, stared, laughed, For these women, it is not only a ridiculous game about the "degenerate" body, but also a harm to the body and mind. And the bishop priest even used his power to ask Christina to serve him sexually in that house.
They are mothers who call the Almighty Lord all day long, they are priests who wash their souls and sins, and they are nuns wrapped in black robes, but the humiliation, the bullying, and the darkness are more shameful than the depravity. , "You are not worthy to be a pastor." Margaret, who discovered the pastor's ugly deeds, cursed in her heart, and she also used her own practical actions to make the pastor make a fool of herself in front of everyone. When the girls were pulled outside for the ceremony, the priest who was chanting was itchy because of Margaret’s special things. He threw away the scriptures in his hand, took off his clothes, and was naked in full view. Shouting in pain in the body, making a fool of yourself in public, and performing in public are to expose the darkness hidden in it and give the theocracy a resounding slap.
However, this kind of hidden revenge is so fragile, even an adventure of sacrificing others, because when the pastor was itchy, Christina also got itchy. She was once a victim, but now she is in her companion. Under the revenge of, she became a victim again, and in the double injury, Christina shouted: "You are not worthy to be a pastor." Repeated repeatedly, surprised everyone, and dragged herself into a deeper abyss—— She was treated as a lunatic, and finally sent to the Vernon Hospital where the lunatic was confined. In the end, she really became a lunatic. During the visit of her sister, her eyes were dull, her expression numb, her movements deformed, and finally died in the lunatic asylum, Nian Only 24 years old.
When the monastery was about to send her to Vernon Hospital, she was struggling and resisting. She was holding the pillar and pulling the foot of the bed, but the people took her away involuntarily, in Christina's desperate cry. , No one avenged her, no one gave her innocence, no matter it was a nun or a girl locked up here, they pushed Christina into a crazy world in a silent way. The victim becomes a victim, leaving behind a scream that will never be forgotten. This kind of fear and desolate atmosphere is the greatest pain for Christina, and it is even more depressing than her previous behavior of begging for death. Yes, she used to wrap herself in wet clothes to sleep, hoping to die of a flu. She once hung herself in the bathroom after losing her necklace, hoping to use suicide to say goodbye to this pain, "If I die, There will be no fault." Using death to escape the punishment of sin is also a kind of relief, but here, even death cannot be satisfied, and only the merciless torture of becoming a lunatic is waiting for her.
If Christina used the way of begging for death to atone for herself, then Margaret’s punishment for mischief was also a ruthless disclosure of the dark insides of the monastery, but she took Christina away in this way, and it was also a kind of blindness. In fact, Margaret was the easiest to escape. When she passed the house where the priest did the ugly deeds and saw the iron door that was forgotten to be locked by the nun, she greeted freedom easily. Grass and forest are the road to the outside world, but she finally gave up, turned back, closed the door, and then returned to the team. Is she afraid or afraid, for her, she actually doesn't know where she will go when she leaves here. She was raped by her cousin and finally became a sinner. Did she return to her relatives? Still wandering alone? That kind of indifference outside the door actually made her give up finally to escape, let her return to the asylum and become a fallen girl again. In fact, she was desperate for the whole world outside the door. And in the end, Margaret was the first to leave the shelter in a fair manner, because her brother came to pick her up, which meant that the family began to accommodate her and began to relieve her punishment, and perhaps only this, a humiliated one Only a woman can be redeemed. This is a social malformation and another unfairness to women. So after going out, she settled in Danigo and was unmarried all her life.
However, compared with Christina's death and Margaret's blankness, Bernadette seemed to be more resistant. The moment she walked into this shelter, she wanted to leave. She was the most determined. The rebel is the most thorough rebel, but she has also suffered the most. The first performer of the escape was not Bernadette, but Wu Na, but all the girls saw the pain of Wu Na being captured, and it was not the police who brought her back, not the nun of the monastery, but His own father, he grabbed her by the hair, shoved her and brought her back to the room, "You have no family, you are a bitch, you ruined us!" What is the use of pleading? What is the use of crying, and what is the use of even successfully escaping, Wu Na seems to tell all the women with her own experience, that no one outside will return to this hellish shelter, or she will never be able to take it off and wear it on her head. The name of the "sinner".
However, for Bernadette, her inborn rebellion made her unable to bear the dark reality. She tried to create opportunities. In the process of shipping the goods, she became affectionate with men, hoping that he would find a way to help her escape. Go, even traded at the expense of her body, took off her pants, and showed him her lower body, but it was forbidden to touch her. In this way, she asked the man to open the door at night in the name of "We are going to get married", but finally brought it. The man with the key was afraid of being punished, and finally did not open the door of hope, and Bernadette was finally caught, and the ending was punished by shaved hair. In the punishment, she still resisted, even the scissors cut her. In his skin, those blood-stained eyes, on the contrary, increased more anger.
Bernadette seemed to have curtailed her plan to escape after the punishment, but when the old Katie died, she suddenly felt that she had to escape from this world, otherwise she would be the same as this old girl who had stayed here for 40 years. Live in a life that will never die. On that bed, Katie fell ill. She refused to go to the hospital because she needed the silence of the soul. "My father said that my brain was not working well. He had told me to stay away from the soldier, but that year On October 15th, the man named Fu Ruide came. "The dusty past seems to be the first time Katie touched her heart, but in the past 40 years, she has confessed here, redeemed her sins, and is silent here. The only love in that life can only be a comfort at the end of life. And Bernadette, who took care of her, said coldly: "You should have died." When she walked into this room again, the old Katie really left the world, so peaceful and peaceful, Although Bernadette leaned down, kissed her on the face, and finally said: "You got what you deserve." In fact, in the reality of death, Bernadette saw his own future-silent Get old without interest, die in despair.
So she once again had the idea of running away, "Are we just going to die here like this? I don't want to spend the doctor like this, I have to go!" She said to Rose, in fact, Rose is by no means an ally in her actions, she silently Sink of everything here, in her heart, perhaps only the son who has only seen a few eyes after birth is all her concerns. When she calculated that the child’s birthday was approaching, she walked into Mother Bridget’s office, hoping to give The child sent a birthday card, a simple card, or even not to write his own name, but even such a small request was ruthlessly rejected by the mother. Under the disappointment, Rose had a vengeance. Psychologically, she deliberately didn't tell the mother the key that was lost under the cabinet, and finally decided to flee with Bernadette. They smashed through the doors, rummaged through the drawers of the mother's office, and finally found the key. During the flight, all the resistance seemed to disappear. The mother found it and was fighting for the key. In the process, Bernadette’s words "you old witch" let her let go, and the nuns who were following Bernadette and Rose finally got the brass candlestick in Bernadette's hands. Under the threat, Gu Zi fled for his life.
When the door is opened, there is another world. Even though there are many injustices, many darkness, and many inhuman institutions in this outside world, it is at least far away from imprisonment and depression. At least Rose can find through his own efforts. Son, at least Bernadette can choose his possible life, and the woman they met in the process of escaping who gave them clothes and money also represents a kind of hope, a certain kind of progress in society, and hope is like a sudden In the meantime, there is no nun's tracking, no police arrest, they ushered in freedom in this way. Although I saw the nun in the life after Bernadette, even though she had torn the wound again in her body and mind, she was at least far away from the sin of the asylum, and at least she could decide her own life-"Bernadette is here In Scotland, she opened a beauty salon. She was divorced three times and is now single; Rose has married, had two children, and found her separated son. She finally died with a pious faith.
Margaret, who was taken away by her younger brother, and Bernadette and Rose who managed to escape through their own efforts, far away from the monastery and far away from the oppressive world, and the "degenerate girls" who are still in the monastery are like the 30,000 women in Ireland , Continue to suffer inhuman treatment, continue to bear the charge of sin, continue to wash his soul, until 1996, Ireland’s last asylum closed, and on this long road to rescue, rows of rows The name of, who has tasted the pain of physical and mental humiliation, suffered severe punishment and perverted devastation, or was silent, or aged, or crazy, or died, they are all victims of that era, outside and inside the door of sin Live the life of being nailed to the cross.
