Why does she kiss Barrett at the end? Is she mesmerised by him, as he seems such a powerful satanic figure at that moment, or is she simply trying to get some control back?
Even when she slaps him at the end and he is startled, he recovers his composure and 'gets control' back by adjusting her coat before she leaves.

She doesn't kiss him, he kisses her (to show Tony how the tables have turned; all that's yours is mine). She's too startled to react immediately.
Of course, eventually, he's the one who is in control.
Fear is the mother of morality.

She kisses him. Or at least gets her face really close to his and then waits for him to kiss her. I just watched this part.
She does it to get a reaction out of Tony, to snap him out of whatever's going on with him, to see how messed up / drugged he actually is & to see if he'll do anything about it.
She also does it out of revenge, but I think that is way secondary to just trying to get him to come back to reality. If she wanted revenge, she could have kept kissing Barrett, or gone further. But as soon as she sees she isn't getting a real reaction out of Tony (he looks like he wants to stop the kiss, but is too incapacitated to), she stops kissing Barrett, disgusted.
Is she mesmerised by him, as he seems such a powerful satanic figure at that moment...He kisses her to show he's the new master puppeteer holding all the strings and Tony (what's left of him)no longer belongs to her. share
