Explanation:
Answer:
Waverly, the protagonist in "Rules of the Game," comes from a traditional Chinese family. Weverly and her mother, Lindo, are like two coins. They are in a mental fight. The conflict is between traditional Chinese and American cultures. To Waverly, who is constantly considered as second best in the traditional Asian household, patriarchy runs deep. Consider this: Waverly was called Meimei, which means younger sister in Chinese. Her brothers were given names like Winston and Vincent. Waverley, not her brothers, introduced Pride into the household.
Waverley's mother was a traditional Chinese lady who instilled traditional values in her home and her children.
Waverly was busy with housework and told to keep quiet and suppress her desires (sour plum). However, she was a bright child who rapidly caught up and learned the new game of chess. Even after winning the game, she was afraid to compete in the national championship since she tended to repress her desires and remain mute. Later in the novel, Waverley expects the same quiet from her mother. To govern your child while they are young or to command your parents when they are old is plainly apparent in both the mother and daughter.
Thus, Waverly and Lindo's psychological thinking is intimately linked to their cultural heritage and traditional Chinese ideals.
