Attacking your only heir in a fit of rage isn't a "rational response;" but is is on the "list of irrational responses for the psychotically unbalanced when their delusions have been flushed down life's toilet."
Wish this had no connection to real life but yeah...it happens.
Is it just me, or momma dearest is gonna make a pact with a witch that is gonna get her killed or *cough* trapped for the endless life as a statue in the house she wanted so damn much?
For anyone keeping track, that is not the knife that appears on page II.i.31; any matricide here will likely not be the "mortal sin" that brings the curse.
here it is if anyone wants a refresher.

You know, looking back at it now, I'm going to throw my vote for his "mortal sin" was trying to kill himself, we see him on his knees covered in blood, and he seems to be alone in front of the fountain.
Well, mother dearest, I think you forgot you have a grown son on your hands, a son who is bigger and stronger than you. He's not a little kid anymore (in physical stature at any rate... the state of his mind after years of emotional abuse is a little more uncertain)
Now his mother is attacking him with a letter opener! That blade may be blunt, but it could still do a lot of damage if she stabbed him with it! I'm glad he manages to stop her, but this doesn't bode well for the "mortal sin" he committed that turned him into a Beast. The question is, did he kill his mother in a similar struggle like this, or did he try to kill himself instead? Given the direction Argus's life is going in, along with his depression (and his suicidal actions in the present), him trying to commit suicide at the fountain seems more and more probable as being the sin behind his curse.
