Songlian #39;s Madness: "Raise High" #39;s Paralyzed Denouement
The end of the Raise High story has Mistress 4 in a state of paralytic madness ("her mind #39;s not right"). A satisfying congruence perhaps with the Anglo-Gothic Bronte sisters #39; (Jane Eyre), except that the condition is imposed by circumstance and confinement, not genetics: nor is chaining nor hiding her away necessary. Is it a retrospective defence (earmuffing) against the agonized scream of Meishan #39;s deathcry (a real one, not from stagescript - for which nothing can prepare)? Or is it part of an unvanquished alliance?: In the end sequence, we see Songlian cranking away a victrola wherein is embedded the remembered (but now dead) voice: a classic formula for ghostliness (the record speaks but from "somewhere else"). But the price paid for this provocation/loyalty is a severe one: whether or not clinically so, Songlian is henceforth TREATED as insane (why else try to speak with another #39;s (a dead another #39;s) voice? From what has preceded, we should not be surprised to her the dead sing - in vengeance. But this is not vengeance, it is memory, almost childish memory. An indecisive end, but then the fate of the "House of Chen" is also, to say the least, uncertain.From:James PViews:0 0ratingsTime:06:10More inEducation
