Concernant les sentiments que Keller portent à Beecher, le moins que l'on puisse dire c'est que jusqu'au bout le doute plane...L'aime t-il vraiment ou non?
Bien sûr, il y a cette fameuse phrase " At first I wanted unconditional surrender...and then I wanted unconditional love" qui nous en apprend beaucoup sur le personnage...Il a un besoin pathologique d'être aimé quoiqu'il fasse subir à l'autre...
Cependant est-ce que cela veut dire pour autant que Beecher n'est qu'une souris avec laquelle il s'amuse, pour reprendre la métaphore cité dans un précédent message? Dans une interview, Tom Fontana a livré une analyse très intéressante sur ce sujet...
Fontana says: “What I was going for was, what [Keller] said to [ Beecher ] in terms of ‘Run as far away from me as possible' [at the end of Season 4], was a genuine act of love. Because I think he knew of his own obsession. And he knew that the obsession would lead to a terrible outcome. So his impulse was to say ‘OK, I'm gonna push you away'. But ultimately, you know, the love becomes the thing that he knows he has to have. So hopefully it's about the complexity of love, because on the one hand, he loves Beecher enough to know that he's bad for him. And yet on the other hand, he loves him so much, he has to [try and] destroy Beecher, in a way, destroy his freedom, in order to possess him.”
