Analysis of Dare me (SPOILER)
-BETH:
Is she a psycho bitch? Yes. Is she dangerous? A lot. Does she deserve all this? No, I need to protect her. Beth is a character built purely out of pain and frustration. Having to always stand out, always wanting to attract attention and lack of affection, I think it is obvious why, seeing their family situation, it is a clear example of not judging anyone for their behavior, everyone is fighting an internal battle ... and the scene where she runs out of the night and screams? Master piece. The scene with the anxiety attack by start remembering the rape when the other breaks her mouth? Another master piece. That is the problem of always wanting to be tough, when the inside goes beyond, there are fissures. She is tired of being the puppet of her parents and everyone, she is ready to show what she is and where she is because of herself and not of no one else
-ADDY
Honestly? I don't get her. I don't like her, that’s for sure, she has zero personality and she lets herself be bossed around by anyone. She is neither good nor bad, she is simply what they want her to be. She does not make clear her family and personal environment or anything and I do not know if it is an acting problem or what, but I had no connection with the character.
-REGIONAL SCENE
My heart continues to sound like broken glass after seeing this, I don't know how unsee it. She comes from a moment of frustration after the fight with her stepsister, realizing once again that she will always be everyone's second choice, and she can no longer take it, she needs to know why the person with whom she is most honest (Addy), with the one that she really feels comfortable and whom she feels that she is in a safe place to be herself, the person to whom she has given everything, even with all that, still does not choose her, she genuinely asks what the hell is wrong with her so that no one love her. I think it is the time that Beth has been most vulnerable, from what we have seen, the time that she speaks most honestly, head-on and without masks. I think Addy's response is truly cruel, even if she didn't feel that way for her, just for the affection she has for her, she shouldn't have said that. Still, Beth shows her inner strength once more, after her heart has been broken for the first time, she wipes away tears and she is ready to win.
-KISS SCENE
I've never been so physically hurt by a wlw kiss, it frustrated me so much .. the whole fucking series waiting for a kiss for it to be a flashback... I am very angry that Addy compares the two moments of the rain, with Colette and Beth, I am angry that this special moment with Beth is replaced by another with someone who has just met. I am angry about the subject of the bracelet, seriously, poor Beth. It gives me the feeling during the kiss that Addy is acting on impulse and letting herself go for the moment, that she really didn't kiss her because she wanted to, and it tears me down because the moment she moves away a little and they look at each other, Beth can't contain the smile, She can not believe what will happen, I love the face she has, of pure happiness, that finally she is going to kiss the person who she has long wanted. And when the flashback ends, Addy's smile feels like when you close a chapter of your life and you're ready to move on, like when you're at peace with your past, and I don't like it at all.
-FINAL
Absolutely everything Beth has done in the last chapters has been to protect Addy (very badly done, yes, but the girl does not know otherwise), and she is going to keep doing it, no matter how many times Addy pushes her away, once she will continue in the first line to protect her always, no matter what happens, because she loves her too much to see how they hurt her (and she hurt herself). I am very pissed off that Addy believes someone who did not even know over her best friend, I understand the frustration that it is for Beth and more because she is in love with her, but I am sure that Beth will continue there. It frustrates me that Addy reproaches Beth over and over again for being selfish, when she is doing nothing but protecting her, even talking alone with the person she least wants to see in the world (her rapist). Actually I don't know if I would like them to end up together, I meen I think it's more than clear that it is a toxic relationship, but besides that, if Addy hasn't already valued Beth after so many years, Beth doesn't deserve to be with a person like that, she deserves to be with someone who values her and loves her as she is, with her demons and internal battles
