“The Wife” uses the story of a writer and his wife to indict modern society.

Her husband's "kindness" made her angry

Joan was going to protect this secret to the grave. ...But, but. The great thing about this work is that as the award ceremony approaches, things start to get more and more doubtful.

Joseph, played by the great actor Jonathan Pryce, acts like a natural winner at the ceremony and enjoys his trip to Stockholm. That's not funny to Jaune. Certainly, I understand logically that I must continue to lie as I have been doing so far. However, for some reason, she can't control her anger.

Surprisingly, the trigger for her outburst of anger was her husband's "consideration" towards her. At the award ceremony, Joseph did everything he could to express his gratitude to her. ``Without my wife, the award would not have been possible,'' he said. However, this act of kindness ends up literally costing Joseph his life.

The complex psychology in which Joan's multiple emotions are intertwined is really interesting. What makes the screenplay's intentions clear here is that in the original work, the award was for a different literary award, but in this adaptation, the setting has been changed to the ``Nobel Prize.'' The Nobel Prize is the highest honor among the highest, coveted by many writers around the world. Is it possible for him to feel comfortable giving it up in exchange for this level of sincerity? This is probably the first feeling.

I also feel angry at the selfishness and insensitivity of my husband, who can think that he is repaying his duty by doing so. The only way to show kindness is to confess The Truth. She must have felt that his attitude of depriving her of the world's greatest honor and then trying to make her happy by showing half-hearted consideration was a betrayal that she couldn't bear. This is similar to how an employer who makes his employees work like workhorses and makes a lot of money says, ``I'm grateful.'' Here, you get the illusion that the freezing hatred for her husband emanating from Joan's body is almost visible. This is a truly outstanding performance by Glenn Close.
