A short reaction to this interesting remarks from Astrid. One is always supposed to "kill the father", in an oedipian way, but this character kills her mother - she has no choice, in the logic of the narration. She has to do it to be herself - she's at the border of species : neither human, nor animal. So she can't have parents, she chooses her own destiny and even her own body. She owes nothing to genetics, to family : she's herself, she's free. In the story it involves violence. More violence than cosmetics ! |
