Do you feel Esther has the right to live a normal life?
I empathise with her condition. But do you feel that she should be aware that her approach to finding love was wrong?
How does she feel this was the right approach?
She succumbed to illness after a lot of traumatic abuse. She deserved proper care and healing from that.
shareIn the movie without knowing the backstory you get the impression her psychosis is all based on her condition. That she was never accepted or could find normal love because of her condition. With the backstory it makes even more sense why she was psychotic. She was psychotic so her approach to love only made sense in her own head. If you present yourself as a child and get adopted of course the adopted father is going to freak out if you make a move on him. Unless of course he is a sick pedophile. If she had not had that backstory and presented herself another way she might have found people to love her.
shareYes, she hid herself from people until she found a man she thought was a good family person, then revealed herself without actually revealing her age. Thus, freakout occurs.
