Re: Not OP

Rape is not worse than murder, dammit. That is SUCH a fucking creepy attitude.

Yeah, the implication that a rape victim would be better off dead is really unnerving.

Objectively, no, but let's have some context here. Turpin has Benjamin Barker convicted for crimes he didn't commit and transported specifically to clear the way for him to rape Lucy Barker. Then, after she poisons herself and is committed to Bedlam, he takes in her infant daughter, and raises her in isolation, grooming her to be his wife. I think there is a decent argument to be made here that it takes a more evil individual to willfully construct that kind of misery than to slit a throat, and that is not the same as saying that rape is worse than murder.

However, and to bring this back on topic, Mrs. Lovett is an amoral sociopath who chooses to use all this horror to her advantage and egg Sweeney Todd on his killing spree for fun, profit, and the chance to pretend that her insane, grieving crush is her for-real boyfriend, and manages to completely fuck up at least one innocent (Toby) in the process. It's a bit of a stretch to say she's any less evil than Turpin or Todd.

Basically, Sweeney Todd is about horrible people in horrible circumstances doing horrible things to one another and singing. Also, Joanna/Anthony.
