And, she winked at him...

Or, maybe she did not. Maybe, his mind was playing with him. Maybe that was what he wanted to happen, but that did not happen.

Maybe, maybe, maybe...

Queen of Spades!

A part of deck of cards. One of the 52 cards.

Why is she so special? What makes her different form all the other cards?

Opera, sotry?

Let's start from the beginning.

Pushkin's sotry

Alexender Pushkin has written ana amazing story about this card. It is about young officer, who at first does not want to gamble, but later, he will get an idea to get a lot of money for a short time, of course with a strategy.

But, finding out that strategy, can be complicated, and it will be. Usually, everything what can be complicated, will be. Things just happen. Good things. Bad things. Things.

Also, people happen to us. Good men, bad men. Also, women.

Connection from story and life

Gamblers are losing everything. Get used to that. We do not have to be losing things on the table, but also in life. Every single day. Those who are ready to gamble, should be ready to lose. Everything what they have.

Specially, if they are gambling with woman, or in woman.

Woman from the Puskhin's story is a symbol of woman's revenge. She ended up dead, but he ended up ill. Mental ill. Maybe, his punishment was even worse.

Think about that. You do not have to express your opinion right now.

I did not wanted to write you everything about the sotry here. If you are interested, find it and read it. I do not want to spil.

But, you may realized that woman from this sotry is very dangerous, and she wants her revenge. She is shown as a Queen of Spades.

Thanks to this story, Queen of Spades became a symbol of a strong woman, woman you should not be playin with, because, if you play with her, you will lose.

She will revenge, she will win. Maybe, even if she do not win, you will be the one who lost. Everything.

Be The Queen of Spades

Be the strong independent woman. Be the one that men cannot play with. Be the one who they are afraid of, instead to be one that they will be fooling. Be the one, who can be alone.

Find the way to be independent.

There are many stories that are about Queen of Spades nowadays. They say that she is cheating, that she is free to do anything, that she is dominating over her partner. But in my opinion, that is not true.

Queen of Spades, I mean the original one, is not taking anything what is not hers, she is not cheating on anybody, she is not giving how strong it is to her partner. She is just protecting herself. She is showing to man who killed her that she is not a joke. She is showing that she is not someone who he can fool.

Also, Queen of Spades can be taken as conscience. Maybe, she was just yong man's consicence, who decided to destroy him, because he destroyed the old lady.

What is your opinion? I personally think that The Queen of Spades is taken wrong in popular culture. She is not a sl*t, she just wants to show how strong she is.
