Much ado about nothing
The protagonist is a single minded, unapologetic female propelled by an ambition so fierce that she doesnt just climb the ladder; with strategic brilliance, she claws her way up it, splintering rungs and sending rivals and foes tumbling as she ascends. She leaves behind a trail of broken alliances, emotional wreckage of those she betrays, and death — with a chilling lack of hesitation. Every cold-blooded maneuver feels like an echo of a past where she had no control, an unprotected childhood where everything was a matter of survival. At first we sympathize, we empathize, and then, we recoil in horror. I don’t think she is a complex character. She is tragic, she is magnetic, she is also a monster.
