* PsychologicalProjection: Mary often tells Precious that she is unwanted, worthless, fat and incapable of doing well in everything. Yet she doesn’t seem to have any friends, chooses to rely on welfare checks rather than look for work and is also overweight. Precious, on the other hand, makes an active effort to gain her GED and is able to establish genuine friendships with her classmates. It’s clear that Mary hates herself and her own circumstances so takes her anger out on Precious.
