Monty.... he really deserves better. šš * donāt @ me about it *
There is a good and bad side to everyone. Even your favorites. This season really shed some light on him and the explanation behind his violent homophobic behavior. I know that it does not excuse what he did to Tyler, but we need to re-analyze his complex character and how broken he really was. His abuse that heās endured his whole life, along with his struggling self-hate caused him to snap when he blamed Tyler for ruining everything. Season 2 Monty admitted all he had was his team, and Bryce. Nothing else. He lost both. Which was the cause of his *snap* (thatās what him and Tyler shared in common, they both snapped and planned/followed through with a plan that would cause harm. Monty assaulted Tyler and Tyler was going to murder several students-which whom many were innocent). People forget to compare their rage at the time of their breaks. Tyler had help to stop him, Monty didnāt.. Iām not justifying it, Iām making sense out of it. Yes, he should of never inflicted his own pain into someone else, but yet again we are all different. We all handle things differently. We all suffer differently. Monty was a product of his environment, clearly as he was beaten by his own father. Monty became the most complex character of the season by introducing his soft side explored with Winston. Which we all were waiting for. They brought out the content in his character by his developing relationship with Winston. The moment Monty re-approaches Winston after the homecoming game, we see a whole other side to him. Monty shows remorse, as he apologized to Winston for his altercation that happen last summer. The crack in his voice, and expression on his face he had telling Winston that he as sorry, and that he wasnāt going to do anything.. was it. The night he spent with Winston cleared the air more, by how happy Monty really seemed in the presence of Winston. He had a feeling heās never had before, someone who was whiling to let him be whatever he wants to be. When Monty responded: āNo. I canāt.ā I cried. š° Right there you can see the pain, regret and sadness in his eyes that he wants to change, but heās not sure exactly how to do it by himself. Which is why, he was different with Winston, because Winston let him be who he wanted to be. Monty wanted to change, and he was slowly doing so. Finally, the scene with his father really made me overall break for Monty. His father not only called him a fa**t, but adding insult to injury he spit disgracefully in his face... right there I understand how lonely, and empty Monty really was. š°š He deserves a better father, and he deserves a chance at change. He is capable of it, as we all seen. His death is a hoax thatās use as a cover up. They added so much content and heart into his character for this to be it. He will return in Season 4, and so will Winston.
A brief insight on something I found and how abuse can affect a child and their behavior... Professor Webb said, āexposure to poverty can have an adverse impact on early child development as well as parental conflict and separation, harming childrenās psychosocial development and well-being.ā Continuing he added: āThis study casts new light on our understanding of the deep-rooted causes of self-harm and violent behaviour. Though to some extent, we all make choices, what children go through does have a powerful effect on these harmful behaviours.ā found at childinthecity.org (along with this, there are plenty of statistics of proven psychology facts that what a child endured growing up, plays a huge factor in their behavior.
