Desperate Housewives on ABC has Mary Alice Young Angela Forrest as a fictional character. Brenda Strong plays the part created by television producer and author Marc Cherry; she also serves as the series’ narrator from beyond the grave.
The character’s suicide in the pilot episode served as the series’ impetus. Because the plot of Wisteria Lane centers on Mary Alice divulging the secrets of her friends and neighbors, her narration is crucial to the story.
Her style of narration is comparable to Edgar Lee Masters’ Spoon River Anthology.
Since only a portion of Mary Alice’s origin tale was previously known, she is regarded as the housewife whose mystery is the greatest.
She was the last person anyone expected to commit suicide. She was a devoted, loving wife and mother who was kind to her family and neighbours.
Mary Alice sees things in death that she would not have noticed in life, such as the flaws, deceits, and secrets of her companions.
She doesn’t condemn them as much as she loves them more for their flaws, pitying them for the ways they take advantage of and harm the people they love the most.
