Anger that devours your soul from within

The strong desire for exclusiveness should be the key point of Dad's obsession. . .
But what I don't understand is, why is Emily watching her dad get engulfed by the "fire of hell" in her heart? Faced with her father's two very different personalities and performances, why would she be content with herself? Why? One possibility is that Emily also has traces of split personality in her heart.
Emily knew that her father was a psychiatrist. If her mother died because of her own mental breakdown, why did the closest father, the one most likely to find her mother's mental health unhealthy, ignored it? Imagine if I were such a daughter, I would blame my father for not really caring about my bedside. This may be the beginning of Emily's strange feelings for her father. If the little girl didn't blame, complain, or anger her father, why would she agree to Charlie's "upset father" agreement?
The father's personality split, the triggering factor is the wife's betrayal. Feeling humiliated and angry, he killed his wife. After a short sleep, he woke up at 2:06 in the morning, and he had returned to his original self. It's just that mistakes are irrevocably doomed.
There is also a possibility that Emily wants to protect her father, so she has been playing games with another father, Charlie. She hopes that by hiding Charlie's true identity from her father, she is helping her father? However, when she watched her father push the woman out of the window, she suddenly realized that everything was not as simple as she imagined. The situation has grown out of control and is frightening. She wanted to go back to her old father, not Charlie anymore.
The final breakdown of the father's personality can also be regarded as the unity of the personality. Whether it's David or Charlie, they're actually the same person. The gentle D and the cruel C successfully merged in the end, so D was able to kill his friends when he knew there was something wrong with him.
The one who killed the wife was D, not C; it was C, not D, who pushed the woman down the stairs.
The love for his wife turned into infinite resentment. Even if she was killed, she could not forget her existence, her status, and everything about her, so C appeared. The position of his own wife cannot be replaced by anyone, so C ruthlessly pushed the woman who might replace his wife's seat out the window.
