The whole film is too dark. When the doctor first came to this old house with his mother at the age of 8, he began to envy the life of the rich and wanted to live in this old house one day and become its owner. So I was inspired to enter the upper class from a young age, and later became a doctor, treating diseases for the rich.
The three owners of the house in the play: the older brother who was burned after the war, the single younger sister, and the elderly mother said to the doctor: This is my house, please leave! The doctor felt desperate, but he was unwilling to give up. He must realize his wish to become the master of the house. So he planned from the beginning to approach the family on the grounds of treating the maid, and later chatted with the hostess about his childhood, but unfortunately, they did not have any impression of the doctor. He was invited to a family reunion to treat the old mother's illness and wanted to win favor. The doctor thought he had stepped into the upper class, but unfortunately the guests completely ignored his existence and said that he had never heard his name mentioned by the hostess. One of them The guest saying "Oh, you were invited as a guest like us" seemed very contrived. The doctor deliberately courted the single hostess, and even proposed marriage, but he did not know that his so-called love was given to the manor, not to the hostess. I hope to become the head of the family through marriage and live in this ancient house. Finally killed the hostess after being rejected by the hostess.
The maid Betty was just a child, too naive to see the doctor's conspiracy. She even mentioned Caroline happy when the doctor said that she was going to marry the heroine. In the end, the scene of the doctor holding a bunch of keys shows that he has truly become the owner of this ancient house, but it is a pity that things are different, and the dilapidated ancient house has lost its former splendor. After 20 years of hard work, he finally got the key to the house but turned into a murderer.
