Righteous Indignation
The righteous indignation of this scene made my heart cheer, flutter and I think I felt the pinch of a squeeze. It was like heartburn, only more emotional. Whether you’ve been treated with disrespect, been devalued, disenfranchised, or even abused in some way by anyone, or you’ve witnessed it happening to someone you love….there is a rage that bubbles within and a determination to prevent it, stop it, or not allow it to ever happen again. Your mind races for ideas and plans for how to handle the situation and how to make the offender pay in some way for what’s happened – if not pay, go away and never come back. Who else is intensely attracted to AL’s protective nature and rage at injustice and maltreatment of her lover?
