Revenge is best served hot and cold: The moral aberrations of Amanda Clarke
The series does not shy away from portraying its protagonist as ice cold beast With almost notorious malicious glee, Amanda, behind the mask of the supposedly unsuspecting Emily Thorne, makes it her life’s work to shake the already fragile house of cards of the unscrupulous Graysons.
She often makes decisions that her new comrades in her campaign of revenge deeply hurt or endangerAmanda – and the audience with her – is repeatedly confronted with the question of whether her revenge actually serves its purpose. And above all, whether the main character will not become one of the very people she is trying to fight so hatefully if she sticks it out to the bitter end.
It is thanks in part to the nuanced performance of lead actress Emily VanCamp (Everwood, Atlanta Medical, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier) that Amanda/Emily does not become a stereotype. She is allowed to be a complex, complicated character who longs to build her own life just as much as she wants to destroy someone else’s.
