One thing I really like about Tyler’s storyline is that there’s so much potencial to be a commentary of how marginalized groups will often fight among each other in order to fit within the status quo.
Jericho’s citizens live in “peace” with the outcasts, but just with >some< outcasts. Those able to be tamed and who have assimilated into the town’s culture. But it’s the outcasts who must assimilate the normie’s way of life and not the contrary.
The students of Nevermore are are warned to not go perpetrating “outcasts stereotypes”. They go and participate in the normie’s society and the town’s traditions, but it’s never reciprocated. The normies don’t go to Nevermore for a day to get to know the school, and socialize with the different, to understand the types of outcasts and who they are.
They want to be accepted so bad that they’ve turned against one of theirs, one who can’t tame their natural conditions, so they’ve banned them from attending the school, while the other outcasts, the good ones, and the normies live in harmony. They can co-exist as long as the ugly part of them stays hidden. And, those who just can’t suppress that nature, must simply be eliminated and remain unspoken.
It’s the maintenance of this system that allows cases like Tyler to exist and allows the anger of the oppressed to be weaponized by those in power.
And isn’t this the reason why Wednesday clashes so much with Morticia? She thinks her mother gave in, she fell in love, become a housewife and therefore lost the individuality and the part of her that was different.
Wednesday doesn’t want to change and confine herself in the expectation of others, in what’s considered normal. So, I believe that when she’s able to get over the anger of being used by Tyler, I feel like she can really empathize with him and his anger. And maybe both of them can overthrown the system, idk.
