Catherine is very smart, and she clears her suspicions time and time again through her own novels. On the surface, she is an extremely cold-blooded woman who doesn't know what love is at all. After watching the movie, I found out that in fact, she is just relying on sex to fill the emptiness, and a poor woman who uses physical needs to cover up her desire for love. Men or women, in her eyes, they are just pawns in her book, and they will only be used, discarded and reused. Her beauty will naturally attract the coveting of many people, but her heart is extremely disgusting with these ugly men who just want to sleep with her, so, find the target and then kill, and then find the target and then kill, from success again and again to gain self-identification. Until Nick appeared, she thought he was no different from other men and approached her just for fun, so she emphasized again and again that Nick would be killed at the end of her book, but Nick also firmly answered that Katherine would. There are different endings. So at the end of the movie, Catherine didn't kill Nick. Maybe it was Nick's words that made her feel a sense of belonging from a man for the first time, and made her understand that she could be loved, and her indifferent heart was real for the first time. She was moved, so she believed that the man in front of her could bring her happiness. After killing so many people, I finally found where my love belongs.
Instinct, in fact, refers to the instinct to desire love.
