No Name Women

All in all I just have to say this, THANK GOODNESS I LIVE IN AMERICA! Universally, adultery is seen as a horrible thing you can do, but in western culture we see it not in a punishable act by mob, unlike other cultures around the world. I know in Asian cultures it's all about honor to your family and your family is the most important thing To do something to give your family a bad name, well it's not good. For example, in the Japanese community everyone seems to know each other and say if a teen gets caught doing drugs, the word gets spread like wildfire. Your parents are embarrassed at you because they are now known are the parents who didn't raise you right. I've heard of stories where an Asian person has forgotten of their relatives because they have done something to shame the family. But aside of Kingston's lost aunt, I can sympathize with her aunt. She was a women who was left all alone and with a low self esteem, no wonder she started to sleep around it made her feel important. And when she found out she was pregnant, she probably finally felt important for once and that someone would finally love her. Until the town rebutted against Kingston's aunt and her "demon child" she decides to kill herself. Kingston's aunt must have figured that she could never live a life with a bastard child and would never make it out on her own if she moved out. Again, in Asian culture family plays a very important role without her family she would never survive. The whole scene of the mob destroying her aunt's family home and wearing masks reminded me of the Ku Klux Klan and how they evoked fear to discourage an unwanted behavior. By doing this act, the villagers could be sending a message to all the young women in the town to not do the same thing Kingston's aunt did. What really upset me was the fact that the man who impregnated Kingston's aunt initiated the mob. It upsets me when it is equally the man's fault as it is for her aunt! A man cannot be a coward when it comes to the welfare of his child! How can you be so insensitive to the mother of your child?
