Part 6/8:
The film brilliantly engages in themes of maternal instinct and jealousy, culminating in horrific outbursts from all characters. Melicent attempts to leverage her position in the household, exposing the raw edges of her manipulative desires.
The Climactic Descent
The film reaches a crux as Melicent's dark past intertwines with her present. The death of her foster father's jealous rage leads her to a morbid realization of her pattern of violence: a collection of hair from her past abusers signifies her bloody journey through life.
