Thats right. Natasha is one of my least favorite characters in the history of ever. and while i acknowledge that that is a bit of an exxageration i still hold firm in my DETEST for her. in the musical, she seems to have absosultely no inner thoughts or initiative. her whole character arc can be boiled down to 'oh i love andre, no wait i mighgt like anatole, gosh im so innocent and pure, oh wait i screwed up- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH KILLL ME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. her naivety INFURIATES me. she is so easily manipulated and when she screws up her whole life because of that, she ramps the drama WAY up, like poisoning herself level drama. I think bolkonsky had it right when he said she was young and worthless and dumb. shes so stuuupid?? in the song 'letters' anatole writes her a love letter and she literally says 'yes yes I love him, how else could i have his letter in my hand' as if a love letter means you must love him. AAAGGH. I am keeping in mind that the story is set in eighteenth century russia, and that is probably what women were like then but still, she represents everything i dont ever want to be, naive, stupid and quite honestly, she is pretty vapid. maybe in the book she makes more sense or has more character depth but i honestly cant see that happening. anyway,
LATER POTATER.
