V for Vendetta, F for- -

My dad raped my sister. My mother came to tell me. I was watching an art exhibition, and I was planning to steal a head of a mannequin. She told me to not worry, that my sister was dead, that my father would not go to jail, he would go to a better house and be happy with a new mum. My mother stayed there while I returned to the big house with the head inside my bag.

Today, Episode nº11: Revenge the sex. (V for Vendetta, F for--)


Did you think in the infinite modes that you can face a situation and change the course of a story? If a man lies to you, you can believe him, you can lie him back, you can tell him that you know he is lying to you, you can play with knowing he's lyings and don't let him know... you can, also, do nothing. If a man offers his lips, you can accept them, reject them, bite them, laugh, ignore them. You can do so many things and the course of the things can change to so different ways... You can also revenge. But what are you revenging when you revenge? From who?
Elizabeth reads "Dangerous liaisons" and about how the Marquise de Merteuil talks about revenge her sex and dominate the opposite. "Revenge her sex, revenge her sex." Doesn't she mean "Vindicate"? Revenge her sex vindicating her sex. No, that way Elizabeth would do it, but not her.
The Marquise was a great teacher of Elizabeth, she taught her to recognize her wicked side, to see her vile desires, intentioned, and also taught her that it is probably that she will end badly (badly?) if she choose the benefical road of cheating. Elizabeth now wants to revenge from herself, from that part of her that it is like the Marquise, that whispers in her ears what to do with those lips, with those lies with wich she meets.
"I am dangerous", she thinks, "I can be hurt". "The others are dangerous too", she continues her thinking, she doesn't look at the watch, nor by the window anymore, "I can hurt them."
There are so many possibilities: we can do the good, the bad, we can do nothing. The same person that can rescue can be rescued or kill. But even if the posibilities exist, in the end, who will love you, Effy? Who will choose do it when he can choose never do that?
The possibilities do not garantee nothing: the stories go on according the way you choose. Elizabeth knows it, she can see the improbable thing, can see her destiny, even that she choose it again. She does with her lips, and her lies, an ambiguous revenge to her teacher. Elizabeth resists the tears.
