The premise in Snow White that the wicked queen would try and kill her step-daughter out of jealousy of Snow White's beauty is not unrealistic: "Jealous aunt drowns niece, 6, at wedding because child ‘looked prettier than her,’ admits to murdering 3 other relatives"--New York Post.
Poonam allegedly saw the child climbing the stairs before following her to the terrace and making conversation with her.
“After having her placed in a plastic tub filled with water outside the storeroom, she drowned the child in the tub, then bolted the door from the outside, and came down,” Superintendent Singh said.
“During interrogation, the accused woman told the police that she was irritated by beautiful girls.”
Poonan also reportedly confessed to previously murdering another three children, including another niece and her own son, whom she also drowned.
These petty jealousies play out all the time, although generally not leading to murder. Such as when a jealous girl convinces a prettier female friend to get a septum piercing, tattoo, cut her hair short, etc., in order to sabotage that friend.
Izzat, not just the men apparently.

ReplyDeleteI take it back. The manhwa writers actually are being realistic with the completely irrational murder motives.
