Alicia
Do you think she committed suicide, as Joker suggests, or did he in fact kill her?
shareI’m not sure, haven’t seen it in a while. My first thought was that he killed her, but then remembered didn’t he disfigured her face? Maybe she did kill herself because of that. What is your theory?
shareThanks for asking.
I'm not sure. The Joker says that Alicia killed herself during his visit to Vicki's apartment, but during the gallery scene Alicia struck me as way too out-of-it to make any sort of assertive decision, even a deadly one that ended up with jumping a couple of hundred of feet from a penthouse. Yes, she was extremely vain and shallow, and her acid scarring would have done serious damage to her ego, but she was also apparently sedated out-of-her-mind and, like I say, too drowsy to make such a choice.
Yeah, I think you might be right. Those are some good points. He probably just got bored of her and got rid of her.
Haven’t seen it in a long time, it is due for a rewatch.
He probably just got bored of her and got rid of her.That sounds spot-on.
The Joker was nothing if not fickle and capricious. And Jack Napier already seemed bored with Alicia by the time we first meet him.
I don't think he ever really cared for Alicia, as beautiful as she was. In fact, I think his affair with Alicia was more of an ego "I'm going to take what the old man [i.e. Grissom] has". In some ways, he was recklessly testing Grissom, recklessness being a key component of Napier's personality, both before and after he became The Joker. share
