5. Betty marrying her boyfriend seemed like the best thing to do when she first got married. After a few days, he had to start going on business trips, and she soon got lonely and jealous of other girls at her school. I do not think that she was very happy once she saw that he was always gone. Her mother refused to let her stay at her house, because she believed that she had her own house to live in. Her mother believed in women being the housewives,while the men worked for the family. Even when Betty saw that her husband was cheating on her, her mother did not accept her back into the house. She did not care what the circumstances were, once her daughter was married, she believed that her daughter had to stay loyal to her man.

Mona Lisa will Smile
3. Betty seemed to be a very obnoxious person throughout "Mona Lisa Smile". Betty was the first girl in the class that Miss Watson had that was married. She believed in women's roles in the 1950's. When she heard that Joan wanted to go and study at Yale, she was horrified. She did not believe that Joan was thinking of a family and of her boyfriend's best interests. I would probably have had a similar reaction if I were in Betty's situation, but I would not be as rude about it.

I agree with you kensen. Once the woman marries her man than that's the end of it. She cant leave him and has to do everything he says even if he is cheating on her.
ReplyDeleteBetty's mother put a huge amount of pressure on Betty to be the perfect wife to her husband, even when he was doing her wrong basically the whole time. A mom's job is to be honest to their kids not to encourage them to live a lie.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Betty rushed into that relationship and as a result, payed for it. Betty's mother's reaction was definitely due to the society of the time in which divorce was frowned upon. Her mother did not want a divorce to happen and wanted the cheating scandal "covered up" by making her daughter stay.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that Betty was not happy with her marriage. Being married was what she wanted at first but after the way he treated her and how he would always be gone for "work" she then realized that she didn't want to be married anymore and to go to law school.
