In fact, I just wanted to write a little bit of my own feelings, and I didn't want to target a certain character. If there is such a topic, it will be automatically added.

After watching two seasons, I felt refreshed and enlightened. As Villanelle leads Eve to find her own way, it seems that all the evil thoughts in my body have also been released. What remains is only clarity.

At first, eve's attention to Villanelle's murder, the excitement in the conversation, had already been seen by Carolyn that they were the same people. The difference is that Carolyn has a wealth of experience and has been polished and purified by time. Outsiders can't see her emotional fluctuations, let alone her true thoughts; Villanelle is an undisguised self, smart and decisive, and has no scruples; eve is Obviously she grew up in a well-kept environment and never had the chance to release her real evil thoughts.

There is a scene in the play, eve is waiting for the bus at the station, seeing the crack on the glass, the strong desire to destroy makes her smash it, this is just the beginning of her rebellion against the "rules" and boring; at the subway station, because the man is rude When she bumped into eve, she quietly walked behind the man, waiting for the subway to approach, and pushed him off the platform. Her thoughts became more and more unencumbered by the "rules"; until the last episode of the second season, Villanelle created for her The conditions of release, Eve started killing. After the murder, the eve is nervous and fearful, and immediately self-denies, denying that this is the real self, just like the self-blame and guilt of most men after masturbation.

The show is popular only because we are all eves, eager and afraid to be Villanelle's eves. This has to make people think of Wei Yingluo, hatred must be revenge, hate evil like hatred, although there are rivers and lakes where there are people, after all, this is a society ruled by law, our rivers and lakes have many rules, more often we face bullying and rudeness, return It means "forbearance". This comes from the education of children by ordinary families, and the instillation of our culture by teachers. Compliance with rules is conducive to maintaining order, and order brings harmony. Wei Yingluo at least still abides by the rules, adhering to the concept of "I won't offend others, if anyone offends me, I will punish them", and more often she is using the system and rules to fight back against each other. However, in Villanelle's eyes, there are no rules and boundaries at all, and doing things is completely natural.

Coming back and forth between the office and residence every day, getting used to seeing the clutter of personnel, intrigue, tired of filling out forms and giving reports in meetings, Villanelle's unrestrained attitude is simply exciting, "Going to TMD's boring, my mother is upset, you are finished. Of course, if everyone does this, the world will be in chaos, so we just want to have this privilege alone. No matter what kind of privilege, the essence is the same, and it is this expectation and desire for privilege that makes people feel a little depressed and terrified.

It is difficult to say whether human beings are inherently good or inherently evil. But beyond nature, good and evil are entirely dependent on the needs of others and their own choices. Just like Carolyn needs Villanelle to be a cold-blooded killer, society needs us to obey the law. (I originally wanted to write about my feelings, but I suddenly got a call from work and lost interest at all.)
