Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -On many occasions, Eva is shown to be willing to sacrifice her own health and happiness to ensure the survival of her children-indeed, it’s suggested that she cuts off her own leg in order to collect an expensive insurance policy, and spends the rest of her life in a wheelchair.

Detailed explanation-2: -Flat out to fit my head.” When Hannah asks Eva if she had ever loved her children, Eva is so stunned by the question that she pretends not to understand.

Detailed explanation-3: -With the same ferocity that she summoned when she saved his life as a child, Eva burns Plum to death because she knows that he is a doomed, addicted adult: After rocking him to sleep one night, she douses his bed with kerosene and lights it.

Detailed explanation-4: -However, unlike the biblical Eve, Eva takes life as well as gives it: She saves her son Plum’s life but later kills him, and she comes close to sacrificing her own life in an attempt to save her daughter Hannah, yet perhaps she smothers Hannah in the ambulance en route to the hospital.
