- The relationship between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law
The novel revolves around two women. The first is a graduate of a technical college who now works as a call center counselor for a home shopping company. The second is her mother-in-law, who works part-time as a housekeeper. The younger woman once dreamed of improving her lot in life through marriage, but her ambitions are thwarted by her husband, who graduated from a low-ranking university. As a result, she blames all of her misfortunes on her mother-in-law, whom she despises. The older woman takes care of the children and all the housework, but is unable to speak up for herself against her daughter-in-law’s petty remarks. In the ensuing conflict between the two women, the daughter-in-law’s hysteria intensifies, and the mother-in-law grows ever more exhausted.
