Current Talk '04 I / Re:Angelique..why do people LIKE this woman?
« on: April 11, 2004, 05:31:55 AM »If, for example, the audience actually saw Angelique physically kick and smack Sarah in the face and chest area instead of probably causing even more damage by sticking pins to Sarah's doll in another room, the reality of what she was doing would be more apparent.
That's very true, stefan. It's an excellent point. And if it doesn't make one see Angelique in an extremely bad light, nothing will...
That being said, though, as many have already pointed out, a good deal of Angelique's appeal with fans is that Lara Parker played her so well. Yes, some fans do sympathize with her - and in light of what you point out, one has to wonder about that - but at the same time it's possible to frequently despise the woman as well as her actions while still getting caught up in it all. With Parker's amazing performances, one can't help but get drawn to the character and caught up in her - yes, even as twisted and reprehensible as she all too often is. The phrase "love to hate" was designed specifically for characters like Angelique.
