Within the film's satirical and macabre context, though, I would not call that scene "gratuitous." It symbolizes Abigail's emergent lust for power and authority—even over the queen—and the final scene offers a fairly chilling retort to that ambition. The poster appears to be only looking at this scene from a superficial and simpleminded aspect of a person being cruel to an animal, without underscoring the context of character's motivation for doing what she did. It is a comment born out of distorted emotion. Simpleminded and superficial I may be - that's all right with me so long as I don't have to watch nastiness like this. |
