So, here I’ll analyze the logical and illogical action in drama of the
joy luck club

 "Feathers from a thousand Li Away" has the feel of a fairy tale. It

is about the mothers' hopes for their daughters and about
transformation, "the swan that becomes more than was hoped
for" (p. 3). Although communication is impossible because of the
language difference, the mother in the plays waits patiently to
communicate with her daughter. The feather is the mothers'
Chinese heritage, which they want to pass on to their daughters.
This section gives us the mother's stories in China.
 "The Twenty-Six malignant Gates" introduces the mothers'
protectiveness, which is expressed in warnings. The daughters
ignore the warnings, to their own harm. This section presents the
daughters' childhood traumas and development and their lack of
communication with their mothers.
 "American Translation" refers to the American daughters as the
reflections or duplicates of their Chinese mothers; hence,they
are translations. The daughters, now adults, discover that their
mothers'warnings and advice were valid.
 "Queen Mother of the Western Skies" states the theme explicitly,
"How to lose your innocence but not your hope" (p. 239) The
mothers are the Queen Mother, whose wisdom the daughters
should listen to. The mothers, who lose their innocence through
their terrible sufferings, never lose hope for their daughters. The
living mothers and daughters come to an understanding, and
there is hope for the daughters and their relationship with their
mothers; June/Jing-mei completes her relationship with her dead
mother and experiences her Chinese identity.
