Juliette is to the Nick who isn't a Grimm, Adalind is to the Nick the Grimm
Juliette is to Nick before realizing he is a Grimm.
Ever since Nick found out he was a Grimm, things have been slowly falling apart between Nick and Juliette. Yes, she was a supportive girlfriend, to the point that she even encouraged to take the potion to bring back Nick’s powers. Nobody was aware of the consequences it will bring to Juliette, maybe Sean’s mom knew without disclosing to the Scooby gang.
Some may say that Juliette is important for Nick for she grounds him to the human (Kehrseite) world. The down side of it, it feels that she was also limiting Nick’s potential to being an exceptional Grimm. No one really said it out loud, but she wasn’t 100% accepting of Nick. In season 4, when Nick lost his powers, Juliette preempted that Nick might want to stay normal and not be a Grimm anymore. If there is anyone to be announcing not wanting to be a Grimm, it should be Nick telling his friends…NOT Juliette. It is also a glaring fact that she is happier that Nick is just like her. Be obliviously happy and not be involved in the Wesen world. The Wesen world is something that Nick have embraced fully. Juliette will not understand 100%. The human Juliette, anyway. *Will save it for another blog entry the Juliette/Eve Hexenbiest conundrum.*
As for Adalind, she’s a Wesen to begin with. It doesn’t really help matters that Hexenbiests and Grimms are mortal enemies. Nobody really looks forward dealing or interacting with Hexenbiests, more so building a life together with them. What is really interesting in Adalind’s character, she experienced being the evil-conniving Hexenbiest and just being a normal human being trying to raise her child properly. She understands what it means to be Wesen, more so a Hexenbiest and how it affects you as a person…and most importantly how crucial it is to strive to be a better person regardless of your nature. With that understanding and her embodying it in her life, she becomes an inspiration to be better. Despite the challenges that will come along your way due to your nature, may it be Wesen, Grimm or Human, you can always make a conscious decision to be who you want to be. Adalind wanted to be a good mother, and that is something she is doing right now. All this was not handed to Adalind on a platter, she had to work for it on her own. Nobody told her to be a good mother, it was out of her own initiative to be one.
That is something that Juliette lacked. She’s been given so many opportunities to be helped, and did not grow as a character to realize how lucky she is. She always acted like a victim that it was owed to her because she’s human who didn’t know any better.
The potion to bring back her memories, that she did not want to accept for she preferred to just forget Nick. Thinking about it, she wouldn’t have drank the potion if Sean didn’t convince her to end the madness. When she became a Hexenbiest, she was given the chance to suppress it and go back to normal. She spurned this and nearly killed Monroe. It makes me wonder if being a Hexenbiest really just magnified how selfish of a character she really was.
I’m sorry to all the Juliette lovers, I really can’t find any redeeming value in her. It seems like the writers wrote her storyline to just be killed off in the end. It is definitely a character that I wouldn’t want my protagonist to end up with.
Sorry for the long post. This is me dealing with no new episode this Friday. Oh March 4, please don’t be late!
