Jing-mei's mother
The mother in "Two Kinds" by Amy Tan can be seen as the antagonist character. She puts pressure on her daughter to be a prodigy and pushes her into activities that the daughter does not enjoy, causing conflict between them.
In "Two Kinds," Jing-mei decides to stop playing the piano after a disastrous recital. Later, her mother offers the piano to Jing-mei as she prepares to move out, but Jing-mei declines and leaves it behind. The piano ultimately gets sold when Jing-mei's parents move to a smaller apartment.
Three main events in "Two Kinds" by Amy Tan include Jing-Mei's mother's insistence that she become a prodigy, Jing-Mei's refusal to practice and play the piano, and the climactic piano showdown where Jing-Mei fails miserably. The story explores the complexities of mother-daughter relationships and the pursuit of identity.
Determined and resilient. Suyuan Woo demonstrates a strong will and perseverance in pursuing her ambitions for her daughter Jing-mei, even in the face of difficulties and setbacks. Her determination is evident in her unwavering belief in Jing-mei's potential and her insistence on pushing her to excel.

One irony in "Two Kinds" is that Jing-mei's mother pushes her to become a prodigy yet fails to see Jing-mei's true talents and desires. Another irony is the realization at the end that both mother and daughter were ultimately searching for a sense of connection and understanding with each other.
The word "envisioned" is used in the story "Two Kinds" by Amy Tan to describe the mother's dreams and hopes for her daughter, Jing-Mei. It signifies the mother's desire for Jing-Mei to fulfill her potential and become a prodigy, embodying the American Dream of achieving success and recognition.
