Heroines that Bite Back | Vengeance According to Your Gothic Archetype
What each TLL muse watches when revenge calls
Revenge is more than a plot device, its a mirror. It reflects grief sharpened into resolve, heartbreak lacquered into performance and injustice alchemized into art.
Each The Lace Ledger gothic archetype wears vengeance a little differently with the Widow, for example, cloaking it in mourning while the Brat smears it in eyeliner and late nights.
Each film or series remind us that vengeance is not always cruel; sometimes, it’s cathartic, sometimes it’s survival and sometimes, frankly, it’s the only language that power understands.
