Creating the Perfect Female Monster
A female monster is a rare but recurring creature, often emerging during periods of collective female anger in society, which proves difficult to express. The monster's purpose is to exact revenge, as seen in the Hulu show Furious, where Catherine, a serial killer played by Lola Petticrew, takes revenge on a fictional Jeffrey Epstein. The show, a crime drama created by Liz Meriwether, explores the complexities of humanizing a serial killer and the evolution of creating complicated female characters on television.
