I love Frank and Claire
Bailee 2022-04-23 07:01:06
I like this show so much, I like the pair of Frank and Claire. The love between them is twisted, but also distressing. Frank has never loved himself. The painful experience in his childhood made him full of resentment towards the world. He devoured power, just as he devoured the missing childhood and love to fill his huge emptiness. For him, Claire is a lover , but also a mother, but this maternal love is paid and requires him to pay too much, so he cannot be completely satisfied, and occasionally escapes. I think the love between them is actually more complete and exploratory than other forms of love. The energy they give to each other is huge, but they go to another extreme, and finally prove love in the form of trampling.
