Ruth, the devil in this story, began to tell a story as a suppressed housewife. Ruth is sometimes a storyteller, living in the suburbs with her husband Bobo and two humble children. Bobo has a history of adultery and attempts to prove that his actions are justified by talking to Ruth about his every encounter. "Personally, I am not going to leave you because I fell in love with her, so just because I have to act accordingly" (Weldon). She felt she could not tolerate her situation that she had her own ugly and useless family, ungrateful child, and unfaithful husband.
In a series of interviews with writers and commentators at Dailymail.co.uk (2008), feminist writer Fay Weldon commented that the woman with the child is the only woman facing the glass ceiling. Relations that can never be closed. And mothers 'roles are more like mothers' responsibilities than any other role. Because there are many problems in the head, women's multitasking will prevent you from reaching the peak. On the other hand, men concentrate on completing tasks to solve other problems, and as more men can perform more tasks at work, it is more likely to find them. In addition, most women do not want to work for a long time, they are taking great responsibility at work and at home, so we are trying to maintain this balance.
Fei Weldon explores women's lives in a witty humorous way. It is meaningful to condemn her fraud, but avoiding the preaching of the characters and their behavior (Magill 3474). On the other hand, unlike the critical research of the novel, Ericsson has more expressions for Weldon 's novels. 'Weldon's narrator is usually all intelligent and she is intelligent, sad and cynical (Ericson 1). This shows that a character must develop well in order to have such a personalized personality. Magwire rarely tells how Ruth's character is created in the "devil of life and love".
I like to read Fay Weldon. Like a short story she read in a series called Polaris yesterday, her novel is very happy to sink into it. At the beginning of her work, Weldon created a simple slide. These stories move forward while filling the numbers on the surface, decently but underneath, indulgences and greedy dreams and desires including material and sexuality. In pursuit of external maintenance and internal desire, characters unveil the layer of truth in interpersonal relationships. It's cruel and interesting.
