Madame’s fury arises from her sense that her daughter disregards all of the expectations for traditional femininity that she raised Lana to follow. She worries that Lana’s sexually suggestive behavior onstage will ruin her chances of marriage, assuming that her daughter wants to marry. Madame’s traditional, conservative view of femininity differs from Lana, who has embraced Western modes of identity, which allow her more personal freedom. Madame views such freedom as personal corruption. The division between them is also generational.
