The "Figaro Trilogy" consists of The Barber in Severe, The Wedding of Figaro, and The Guilty Mother, the last of the trilogy.

The word mother, the association that most people have in their minds, is a warm scene and a pleasant emotion such as hard work, warmth, kindness, sincerity, gentleness, patience, etc. In the face of husbands and children, mothers often show their capable, tolerant, strong, and optimistic sides, but rarely mention their inner wandering and sentimentality. "Guilty Mother" takes the hidden pain in the mother's heart as the starting point and depicts the inner world of a woman who is afraid, depressed and depressed.

In the play, Count Alema Viva, in his old age, became a calm and conformist old gentleman. After embracing some of the new ideas of bourgeois democracy and freedom, Count Alma Viva also began to advocate democracy and equality at home. He did not allow the servants of the house to call him "Lord" anymore, but asked them to call him "Sir."

The unfortunate death of the eldest son left Count Alema Viva in pain and discouragement. After the death of his eldest son, Count Alema Viva gave all his love to his adopted daughter Floretina, who was indifferent to and even somewhat disgusted with his second son, Leon. The Countess adopted an equal attitude towards the eldest son, second son and adopted daughter. However, she was uneasy about the Earl's concealment.

It turned out that the second son was the illegitimate son born when the countess and the count's attendant Xue Luban secretly fell in love. Xue Luban died in battle at a young age, and before his death, he entrusted infantry captain Bayar to hand over his handwritten blood letter to the countess to show his love to death. After Bayar secretly gave the blood book to the countess, he stayed in the count's house as a friend.

On the surface, Bayar is a loyal and honest man of faith and deeds, but in fact he is a scheming, sinister and cunning hypocrite. He had been calculating in his mind how to get the earl's large amount of property, and even went so far as to destroy the love affair between the count's second son and his adopted daughter.

The same Bayar who was willing to deliver letters to a friend, but later became greedy and vainly tried to seize the count's property, was the same Bayar. If his previous actions showed his righteousness and credibility as a friend, then his subsequent actions showed his rudeness and arrogance as a guest. This change in his personality also fulfills the characteristics of a hypocrite: capriciousness, seeing the wind and steering.

Figaro, as a bystander, knew that Bayar was a duplicitous person and was therefore wary of him. As the head of the count's family, Figaro and his wife Suzanne served the count and countess faithfully. The two of them exposed the hypocrisy of Bayar, a villain with a honey-bellied sword, and let everyone return to a peaceful and beautiful family life.

For many years, the Countess lived a life of restless sleep, living a difficult life with secrets. The betrayal of love and the infidelity to marriage made her uneasy and ashamed. Beaumarscher's portrayal of such a character as the countess is also a wake-up call for the majority of women to be clean and loyal to love, otherwise it will be too late to wait until the quagmire is deep and then want to withdraw and leave. At any time, strict self-discipline and adherence to the bottom line are the golden rules for maintaining inner stability.
