Something I always wonder about the revenge
I love these two volumes. A lot. But something I tend to wonder is....
While it obviously makes for better films for her to go after every person in the squad who was involved in the killing at her wedding, why would she feel the need for such strong revenge against Bud, O'Ren, Vernita, and Elle? Other than just Bill?
Because think about it, if just say.... Vernita got pregnant (which she eventually did and went on to live a "normal" life like Beatrix was trying to do) and decided to up and leave the squad without telling them...and if roles were also reversed in that she was the one in love with Bill and vice versa--- Bill would have pulled the same thing on Vernita, and Beatrix would have been ordered just like the others to kill Vernita. And Beatrix would have done it no questions asked, no guilt or remorse. Just like she kills anyone else. So wouldn't she have assumed it wasn't personal with the others? Just with Bill? Because they show no backstory of any of them being loyal best friends. Or not "killing one of their own even if Bill asked" which would never happen because they would know never to say no to Bill. So while I get she would hate them and be shocked about it, I feel like she'd understand that had she been in their place she never would have said no to Bill. Unless she was still the one he was in love with, but what wouldn't have been the case if they did this to someone else. The biggest reason they did it was because Bill loved her and was hurt. I doubt they all killed every single person who left the squad unless they left in a betraying way. Which I get Beatrix did, but even still sometimes I feel like her unrelenting rage towards the rest of the squad is a bit hypocritical because they were ordered by Bill to do it--- and all trained to be emotionless killers.
Is it more just an honor thing? Like an eye for an eye? Like no matter what it's more "How dare you try kill me no matter who told you to or why? If you try kill me I try kill you" ?
OR was she pissed because obviously Bill could have done it himself. He could have walked into the church and either went kung fu on everyone's asses with his Hanzo sword or just used a gun--- but Beatrix felt it was personal because maybe they said they WANTED to help because each of them had a reason to hate her. Bud because she hurt his brother and is loyal to his brother. Elle, because obviously Elle wanted Bill as they ended up sort of being together and aslo Elle was jealous of her skills, and also both O'Ren and Vernita were jealous she was the best female assassin and wanted her elimanted as well?
