In Shakespeare’s tragedy of the same name, the old man, King Lear, believed he had given everything to his two eldest daughters, Regan and Goneril, yet they abandoned (bỏ rơi) him. King Lear mused, “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child!”
If Shakespeare’s Lear tells us, “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child”, then Enright’s Lear serves as a stinging (nhức nhối) reminder of the equal difficulty of having a thankless parent.
How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child, right? If your daughter knows that you read her text messages, it’s possible that she wanted to communicate something to you. That despite her allegations (lý lẽ) being untrue—she says you’re not going to see her perform; you say you are—she feels overlooked.
Tian Tian grunted again. “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child,” he muttered before settling back on his haunches (hông) and stroking his ample belly.
