7. Never Judge A Person By Their Eyes
NetflixWatching the transformation of Susan AKA Crazy Eyes has been a roller coaster ride in itself. Forget the rest of the series - someone should really write a book of pure psychoanalysis on this character, because she is anything if not complex. In the first season she remained fairly two dimensional. Her love, if you can call it that, for Piper was creepy, strong and dark. Just thinking back one particular scene springs to mind when Susan decides to urinate in front of Piper, all the time holding her eye contact. That's just plain strange and that's how I would have envisioned this character remaining. Yet somehow in season two Susan became a real living person. She had feelings and not just your every day sociopath I'm going to stab you in your sleep feelings, but genuine human emotion. During some scenes the viewer even starts to empathise with her. This is something I could never have foreseen back in season one. Of course, later in the season, when she becomes utterly engulfed by Vee, she returns to her ill-minded self. Even then, though, she is more humanised. She is manipulated and the audience truly feels for her even when she is doing wrong. This arc of character transformation is interesting, because it truly mirrors real life. People are not crazy just because their eyes say they are, a weird, wacky hair style is not synonymous with a personality disorder and a man wearing a mankini does not necessarily need a lobotomy. Judging people by their appearances is naive at best and criminal at worst. Just look at old Crazy Eyes.
