| 1 | * BaseBreakingCharacter: Audiences cannot seem to agree on whether Vivi is a flawed but ultimately sympathetic JerkassWoobie who struggles with mental illness from her traumatic childhood, or a vicious, sadistic, abusive mother who does not take responsibility for her own transgressions and is forgiven way too easily for what she did to her children. |
| 2 | * JerkassWoobie: Buggy, definitely. Sidda and Vivi too, to a lesser extent. |
| 3 | * TearJerker: [[spoiler: "You killed my son! You drink champagne to his death!"]] |
| 4 | * UnintentionallySympathetic: Sidda is meant to be seen as hard-hearted and cruel for not forgiving her mother...her physically abusive, mentally ill, violent, alcoholic, incestuous mother who shows very little remorse (if any) for what she's done to Sidda and her siblings. |
| 5 | * UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The plot is about Vivi's friends trying to get her daughter Sidda to forgive her by showing her how hard Vivi's life has been. But for some readers and viewers, Vivi's abuse of her children is so awful as to make her irredeemable, [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse no matter how horrible her own life was]]. It does not help that Vivi's reaction to Sidda calling her abusive is to [[IResembleThatRemark call Sidda a liar, disown her, and cut her out of her will.]] |
