Status Updates From Masque de femme

Mira que se llama Máscaras femeninas, pues no me esperaba que literalmente fuese sobre máscaras femeninas

Mieko thinking she could overturn destiny by establishing her own matriarchal dynasty of sorts is propotetous and rebellious, and yet by doing so she ends up harming the women closest to her, namely Yasuko and Harume, and mostly herself by abandoning her research and her intellectual enrichment in the name of mythological revenge.

Sadako hiring that private eye was brilliant. Mieko Tagano having been punished for adultering by having one retarded kid and another who's dead by age thirty is so satisfying. I keep trying to draw parallels to either the tale of Genji or the Noh masks which is fascinating as well. The intrigue and stakes are high, Japanese tenelovela of sorts.

The love triangle is weird, but maybe it's alluding to the Tale of Genji that I'm not familiar with. The folklore and art aspects are interesting.
