Why People Secretly Root for Gone Girl's Amy Dunne

Gone Girl’s Amy Dunne has been called a lot of things, both in her world and in ours...
She’s continued to leave viewers polarized over whether anyone should root for her-or even sympathize with her. The divided reaction to Amy Dunne speaks to our own feelings about female rage, a notably quiet kind of anger that we normally expect women to suppress.
This is why, to some, Amy is an antihero for letting that anger out, and for treating those everyday transgressions like crimes deserving of vengeance.
The fact that we may find ourselves rooting for Amy, despite all the bad things she does, speaks to just how much we expect women to keep up their mask-to do all the work of maintaining the lie. And it shows us how terrifying, yet liberating it can be to watch as someone stops pretending and finally lets it all go...

If you read the book, you’ll NOT root for Amy Dunne. You’ll not root for either of them.

This maybe an unpopular option, but I really do like Amy Dune. Us women get hurt and we don't always feel like we can express it. Amy does that for us. Always rooting for the Amazing Amy!

Well maybe this was exactly the reason why women used to have no suffrage… 😂

Gays too I was rotting for her I agreed with her on alot of things too even when she killed that stalker

I don't know girl, she's simply one of the greatest characters of all time.

[@evegreenification]

I'm ready to root for good people. Too many characters are losers and aholes nowadays. Unfortunately, life imitates art.
