Carmilla's Motivations pt 1/2 | I deserve to have all their stuff | Lenore | Castlevania Season 4 E2

Watch the next part:

[skeetskeet]

Carmilla: starts monologuing
Lenore: *are we the baddies?*

[loganbrown]

Kinda funny how Carmella tried to warn Lenore about underestimating Hector

[grandadmiralzaarin]

I love the moment Lenore realizes her boss is legitimately insane...

[aliciazabala]

You can see that she was pretty much going insane at this point. Lenore saw that, she saw her sister going into a sad road, a road where her only existence is to take from others without feeling satisfaced.

[noahdaglio]

I present the queen of Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss.

[catherga]

“Would Dracula have kept him around in his own castle if he were that dangerous?”
Lady, that castle was full of mass murderers and death worshipping parasites, Hector wouldn’t *be* there if he weren’t dangerous😂

[DiamondCrash]

This scene demonstrates the key difference between humans and vampires. Vampires have all the time in the world to make things of their own, but they don't have the patience for it. But humans never have enough time, so we make things. We make as many different kinds of things as we can so that in the end we can say we spent our time well, vampires don't do that. All the do is take from everyone else, they just eat and hide in the dark until someone finally stakes them.

[YouAreStillNotablaze]

I mean, that's been a motivation of most of the most powerful humans in our history, so it's not all that hard to understand.

[rustkarl]

It’s just never enough for her, but its not about possession. It’s about the act of taking.
The more valuable, the more precious the better. She enjoys the action more than the consequence because it makes her feel like the one with power. That she’s entitled to that power by right of her past rather than being worthy of it.
It’s repulsive and insatiable. She’d get bored and angry after she takes everything from everyone.

This isn’t an issue of vampirism. It’s an issue of avaricious pride.

[NewGuy]

Dracula might have been evil and old, but stupid he was not.

[kap]

Carmilla strikes me as the kind of person who comes up with ideas and plans for group projects but leaves all the leg work to everyone else.

[cobracorporal]

"This castle belonged to a stupid, evil old man"

And now this castle belongs to a stupid, evil old woman

[jaydarichmond]

The thing I love about Carmilla and Lenore is that they wear their immortality on their sleeves. From this one conversation you can see that what was left of their humanity is gone, and all that’s left is an immortal, heartless being. Lenore sees Hector as a pet and can’t even believe he’s be capable of betraying her. She’s too old to be tricked by a human. Carmilla sees humans as even less, like insects meant to be squashed. Both women have forgotten what it means to be human. It’s not about surviving, it’s about living, and that is where they made their mistakes.

[darkskinss]

The ladies who voiced these characters did an amazing job. Absolutely sensual, perfect intonation.

[domidium]

Carmilla speaks of wasting her time making things, when vampires have all the fucking time in the world. They have no excuse to not make things. But then, I suppose, in a way, that might be something of their nature, to be parasites. Dracula was a rare exception. Holding in his castle, creations and knowledge of his own; whereas Carmilla is just a parasitic vampiric animal.


"Any one of them could have stood up and said "no, we won't behave like ANIMALS anymore!!" -Dracula

[britishcodfish]

I absolutely adore the fact that Carmilla’s first line in the season was “has Hector made his fucking hammer yet?”. Classic fking Carmilla.

[aawallace]

i got to say im was genuinely caught off guard when carmilla acknowledged hector as smarter and more dangerous than he appeared

[mrbigglezworth]

She probably wouldn't acknowledge it, but Camilla ended up being far worse then any of those "stupid, evil, old men" that she hated so much. It's also telling that much of Camillas success comes from stealing from those men rather then building it up herself. Even her closest peons end up doing most of the legwork to make her idiotic schemes even possible. If Dracula was the shows tragic villain spurred on by loss, Camilla is the shows true villain fueled by hate and envy.

[ghost]

Carmilla was probably right about Hector stalling.
Carmilla was definitely right about Lenore needing to be careful.
Interesting that Carmilla never answered Lenore's question: Would Dracula have kept him around in his own castle if he were that dangerous?
I don't think Carmilla knew the answer to that question or cared to have it.

[Suijen]

Lenore says that "you can just make new things" which mirrors Hector's conversation with Isaac "I want to be left alone...with Lenore. I want to read, and make things." Hector and Lenore value strength that can make a weatherproof shelter.

Carmilla says that she can just take and take from others. Fast forward to Hector's last conversation with Lenore about how power, like a vampire, just takes and takes and never gives back (or creates).

That's why Lenore was so worried about her vampiric nature at the last episode. Like Hector, she wants to make things, not take them.
