By her personal admission, Kathleen’s not a pleasant woman. She sends within the demise squad after she’s promised individuals a good trial. In her thoughts, she’s out for justice, however the way in which she goes about it’s all unsuitable. Even when it turns into clear she’s led her individuals right into a demise lure, with the underground clickers she deprioritized — in favor of Henry — able to bloodbath all of them, Kathleen continues to be bent on private revenge.
Her set off man, Perry (Jeffrey Pierce), offers her the possibility to flee, sacrificing himself for her in a grotesque trend. However within the face of sure demise, Kathleen has the standard of Captain Ahab in “Moby Dick.” “[Perry] instructed her to run,” Craig Mazin stated. “And he or she could not assist however chase the white whale to the very finish.”
Mazin concluded by discussing the poetic justice of Kathleen’s demise by little one clicker:
“It was necessary for me, additionally, that Kathleen is killed by a baby as a result of what she says — it is certainly one of my favourite strains within the collection — is when she’s saying that Henry has to die, and so does Sam. And Henry says, ‘He is only a f***ing child.’ And he or she says, ‘Nicely, youngsters die, Henry. They die on a regular basis.’ And he or she’s not unsuitable. The factor is, quite a lot of what we speak about once we’re speaking in regards to the ethical conundrum of ‘The Final of Us’ is, ‘Why does my child’s life matter greater than yours? Does my child’s life matter greater than your mom’s? Does my child’s life matter greater than an previous man’s life?’ And so, the concept that she finally is killed by a child felt form of like a round completion of that story.”
