If the relationship between mother-in-law and son-in-law is glorified by countless anecdotes and serves as an inexhaustible source of ridicule, then mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are worthy of great tragedy. What could be more dramatic than a mother-in-law’s visit to her beloved son’s home, where her daughter-in-law is in charge?
