The Mother..... good intentions or selfish monster (spoiler)

I agree. The mother was the weak point for me. I'm very sure there are mothers out there who are jealous hateful bitches and don't want a better life for their children than the one they had but she was painfully one dimensional.

i don't see it that way. yes i dont like the mother, but it's because she in a way reminds me of my mom lol although a more dramatised version.

growing up as a minority, i went through what ana did. as much as her mother wants ana to be successful and happy, it's hard for her to grasp the concept that ana's version of happiness does not include working long hours to make ends meet and get married and raise a family. she's used to the old way of doing things and she thinks her daughter will follow in that footsteps, and trust me, the concept of ambition is really hard for someone like her mother to embrace since she has nothing to base it on. all around her everyone lead a simple life.

usually kids like us with mothers like her has to push so much conventions and rise against alot of factors to achive our dreams. really hard when you have family guilt and responsibility pulling you down to that "simple life".

and as for the part about her throwing a tantrum, it's a side of her not knwing how to handle letting her daughter off in the real world apart from her. it's a weird way of showing love by wanting to put your kid in the proverbial cage, but it's the way her mother was brought up.

Well she did kill Selena.. so yea monster does come to mind.
