Hush
I thought it was very interesting at the end, when Riley went to talk to Buffy. I have been writing about how insecure and alone Buffy tends to feel in previous episodes, but as a collegian she seems to have overcome many but not all of these dilemmas. I say this because she easily steps up to the plate to battle the "Gentlemen", never even breaking a stride when she runs into Riley. But I said she "overcomes many, but not all of these dilemma's" because Buffy does second guess herself, when she is thinking about talking to Riley about her (extracurricular) activities as a slayer. In the end you wonder if he even begins think about why Buffy was there fighting away the demons, and only wants to explain his part in the scenario. Mainly because he speaks about how much he cares about her, and he is tired of hiding the truth. This seems to still be a reoccurring issue even in college, with feeling like your alone.

Both Riley and Buffy will have to come out with the truth about themselves. If they don't talk about it, it will build up inside and that will not be beneficial for their relationship at all.
ReplyDeleteThe reason that Buffy feels alone or insecure is that she is so strong. For example, weak creatures always choose to live together, like ants. Strong or powerful creature always alone, like tiger. The samething happens on our human-beings. Buffy is so strong that few men can protect her. Thus she is different than other girls who are always taken cared.
ReplyDeleteYour topic for your paper sounds interesting! It sounds like the "Hush" episode gave you a new perspective on some things. I wonder what Buffy and Riely's conversation was like after they found each other fighting for the same cause... I was pretty disappointed when the writers cut off the end of the episode with an awkward silence between the two of them!
