Domestic violence that constantly takes place in Precious’s household
In the film, Precious’s mother plays a very important role. She is a contrast to Precious. She is mean, demanding, and careless about her own daughter; while Precious is a more responsible and caring person. Precious’s mother, in fact, is a very complicated character. She neither wants to give her daughter love, nor intends to take care of the family. She constantly abuses Precious physically and verbally. She even chooses to remain silent when Precious’s father is raping Precious. However, the most ironic thing is, when Precious decides to leave her and start a new life, the mother realizes that she can’t lose Precious not because she still has a bit love left for her daughter but because she needs someone in the house to keep her company and do things for her.
