After Sophie moves in with her mother, her mother sends her to a French school. When Sophie is eighteen, they move to a one-family house. She then starts collage. Slowly, slowly Sophie starts falling in love with her neighbor Joseph, who was much older than her. Her mom would not let her see him, so while Sophie's mother was at work they would visit each other. Sophie confronted her mother and told her that she had fallen in love but with a guy named Henry. One night Sophie got back from a dinner with Joseph and her mother was home waiting for her. Her mother started testing her to see if she was still pure. Her mother now knew the truth about Joseph and her, so she tested her every night. Sophie wanted to break free and get married to Joseph, so she took a pestle and tore herself. That night she failed the test and her mother let her go. She went over to Joseph's house and got married the next morning.
I don't believe that what Sophie's mother did was right. Sophie's mother told Sophie that when she was younger, her mother tested her too. Sophie's mother told her that she hated the tests. I'm wondering why Sophie's mother would do that to her daughter after telling Sophie her childhood nightmares about it. Her mother also promised that after the age of eighteen Sophie was allowed to fall in love and make her own decisions. Breaking those promises was not far to Sophie.
