Why the hell did Ramesses' mother stick around? She'd already shown that she loves her son enough to leave her husband for him. She appears to have no issues with thievery consideirng Ramesses has done it enough to know he has a talent for it from a young age. Why didn't she just take her son, who was pretty much being abused by the rich man who was forcing him to do 'terrible tasks', and leave again?

It's not like he actually has any control over her; she's not indebted to him. She's not a slave. She's not going to be chased down by the law and forced to go back or face prison. Hell, he probably wouldn't even give a rats ass if she left, since he could just get another desperate young thing to fill her role.

The whole scenario is contrived and feels like it was done purely to make Ramesses have a shitty life, and it comes across as edgy and cliche.
