Astute of the author to characterize the mom, the Demeter figure, as giving and giving of herself until she's kind of broken. A fertility goddess who gives endlessly and expects nothing in return is kind of a patriarchal notion, isn't she? Imagine a Demeter who's just handed the role of being an infinite producer with no choice in the matter. This woman is exhausted. That's a good observation, Tori Bovalino.
