Mui Choo Character Analysis (sry for late post!)

Mui Choo
Age: 37 years old
D.O.Death: 1960s
Job: Pub waitress / Prostitute ("I work as waitress, but money also come from men. No time to marry. Some men don't mind who they sleep with.")
Obvious traits: Low educated. Simple minded / ignorant. Very Chinese-y. Hungry for love and escape (I agree with Steph) and probably, second chances.

Because of my lack of education, I've got to learn things the hard way. Only after losing my life can I learn how important life is. Only after losing my baby can I learn how to appreciate babies. In scene 6, my line "Baby come out very beautiful." shows that I've actually learned to appreciate babies and throughout the whole show, I appear as a mother figure for Baby. I regretted killing myself along with my baby. That's why I'm so nice towards Baby. I'm trying to replace my guilt with my care for Baby. And also, trying to erase that memory. As seen from scene 6, as I was explaining how babies come about to Baby, I denied taking my baby out and said that Baby's mother "make mistake only" (when I'm actually referring to myself).

Because of my lack of education, I fear many things. I'm scared of aging, I'm scared of loving and most importantly, I'm scared of my unpredictable future. That's why I died. When I got pregnant, I don't even know who baby's father was. I didn't know what to do. So all I could think of is death. Lines to show my fear: "That age, not young anymore, and you always frighten going to get old." , "I was scared of what would happen." , "I no know what to do. Daddy never come back." , "But when scared, how to think of love?" (all from Scene 13)

Mui Choo's view about the rest:

Sarah: Hungry for answers.
I think she's a clever girl. She knows a lot about the world. That's why, I asked her to teach Baby. But sometimes, she thinks too much. People from the new generation really thinks differently. The questions that she ask, tsk, difficult to understand. Everything to her must have some logic/science behind it. She seems to be a very pessimistic person. And she's also not humorous at all. She is very straightforward and speaks very matter-of-factly. I don't understand why she tries so hard to find the meaning of life when "books are useless for the most important answers".

Guakawakaweena: Hungry for recognition.
Crazy artist, super dramatic and very much about getting attention. Her name is difficult to pronounce. I preferred her original, Gek. She talks a lot, sometimes too much. But I guess, all she wanted was attention. She even hold parties just so that people can give her the attention she wanted. Actually... she's quite pitiful. All she needed was recognition. So, even in death, she's searching for that.

Mug: Hungry for self-worth.
Another ding dong. Always talking about stuff that I totally don't understand! At least I can understand Sarah at times. Mug is just... weird. He always claims himself as god. And always counting down to I-don't-know-what. He appears anywhere everywhere anytime and every time. He seems like he's lost in his own world and is trying to find a place for himself. He's difficult to comprehend... So I don't really bother about him. Hope he gets what he wants soon.

Baby: Hungry for knowledge
Baby reminds me of my own baby. She's my only source of repenting. I enjoy taking care of her, makes me feel like I'm taking care of my own baby. And also, allowed me to have hopes that others are taking care of my baby too. Baby loves to ask a lot of questions about the world. Even though she has not experienced life, she's the one who knows the truest meaning of life. Her words are actually very eye-opening. It makes people go back to the simplest meaning of things.

Death: When's he hungry?
Scarily calm. It seems like he knows everything. Much like a 'Death God'? He's the one who brings us from life to death to... just stages. He's also very straightforward. He's somehow, emotionless. He doesn't show his feelings or rather, he doesn't even have feelings. He speaks the truth and tries to answer all our questions even though he can't always answer them fully.
