Although the heroines of the three stories themselves are Beth, Simone and Taylor. But from the theme of why woman kill, the protagonists or killers are Beth, Naomi, and Jade. Beth was forced, Naomi was mad at losing everything to Simone, Jade's life was broken from the start, so she hated everyone. The reason for the woman kill is that her life was destroyed. The three women collapsed because of their destroyed life, resented and killed them. They're going to kill what they see as the culprit (whether or not it actually is) that is destroying their lives.
Beth is the only one that fits the theme of killing her husband and removing scumbags from the public account. Because all the tragedies in Beth's life really come from her husband, who is kind, passive, and even stupid. He will only be submissive, deceive himself, and whitewash peace, but he is forced to recognize the reality step by step, learn his scheming step by step, and finally kill the enemy with a perfect layout, and also rescue another woman who suffers from the same disease. Of course, I personally think that Beth's life tragedy is actually short-sighted caused by the concept of the times and educational background. Her step-by-step despair and awakening are also the epitome of the history of women's independence struggle in the contemporary context.
What Naomi wants to kill is her best friend Simone. The plastic sisters have been secretly competing since they met at the country club. It is not even a comparison. Simone has been doing her best to climb up in the first half of her life, and Naomi is her goal. , because Naomi got a good hand of Simon's dream in terms of class of origin, husband's wealth, and children's quality, so Naomi has always looked down on Simone (even perhaps this is the reason why she and Simone are best friends). But what she couldn't accept was that as she got older, Naomi gradually lost to Simone in every sense. In terms of family property, Simone is no longer rich (her husband died and the two Simone have been accumulating wealth), in terms of image Simone owns a gallery, and Naomi is just a idle widow. On the charm of every party, Simone amazes the audience. As for the man, Simone has a perfect Karl, who is like a perfect couple, but Naomi's husband and wife were not in harmony when her husband was alive (Tommy said), and her husband is dead. So the only thing Naomi wins is that she has a handsome and artistic son (indeed, it is much better than Simone's daughter, Amy is almost the biggest flaw in Simone's personal image, which perfectly reproduces when she was young and upgraded when fighting monsters. dilemma). Naomi's mental balance is getting increasingly unbalanced, and she has changed from contempt for Simone to secret jealousy. As a result, just when Naomi finally secretly proud that Simone was caught in a scandal with her husband, her social image of a perfect life collapsed, and when she thought she had regained a victory, she found that Simone had actually hooked up her son - her only advantage! So mad, she spread the news everywhere to black Simone and Karl, but in exchange for her son's breakup or abandonment. So Naomi collapsed completely, and finally decided to kill the killer, waited for the rabbit in the parking lot, and drove into Simone. If the key word of Beth's story is the times, it tells about the limitations and changes of the times. The key word for the story of this pair of girlfriends should be class. The plastic love between S and N can be said to be a microcosm of the formation process of the upper and lower classes in the United States, the most popular immigrant country in the world at that time.
The third is Jade, who she wants to kill is all the people who once accepted her as family, but eventually abandoned her: the foster parents who were burned to death by her, the ex-boyfriend who was stabbed to death, and Taylor and Eli. If it's the children that force Beth and Naomi into the ultimate killer. The pain point of Jade is that she is the child herself, a child without a home. Ever since I was a child, I have longed for a home but was repeatedly abandoned. She received promises but was never fulfilled. The bigger the hope, the bigger the disappointment. In addition, she was a borderline personality (or her childhood shadow created her borderline personality), so she finally turned into a dangerous person. Taylor said we were family when she brought her home, and said you were just a houseguest when she decided to kick her out. Eli promises to take care of her, only to return to Taylor. So Jade, who had lost everything again, raised the butcher's knife again. I think the core of this story is choice. As the times and concepts change again, the instinctive needs of the human heart for a sense of security and a sense of belonging will not change. Between freedom and responsibility, we need to find a balance. You can't have everything, just want everything.
So the protagonists of the story are Beth, Simone and Taylor, because they are thinkers rather than emotionally controlled tragedy makers, three small women trying to stay awake and control their lives in a big world. B is pushed by the times to find her own value, S strives for her own position in the bizarre world of money, and T, Taylor who grew up in the 21st century, is rich, capable, has a job to realize personal value, and is open and tolerant to her In this era, she also has the right to choose freely, but she still figured out how to plan her own feelings and life after she made a mess of her life.
These three groups of killings are clearly reflected by the progress of the times. People are becoming more and more sober and rational, so the killings are becoming more and more crazy and incorrect. Beth's killing also made everyone feel supportive and even cool, Naomi was obviously angry, and the tragedy of her life came from his own arrogance and laxity, not Simon's too hard work. Jade, on the other hand, is a dangerous sociopath (even though she's a victim of an unreliable family and an unreliable social adoption system, her crimes cannot be forgiven).
Facing the troubles of life, self-sacrificing compromise, self-deception, blindly pursuing success in the eyes of others, ignoring the heart, or venting anger and revenge are all helpless.
