  • TW: DV and SA are discussed in this episode.

    Can a villain also be a victim? Embark on a journey through the layered narrative of Merope Gaunt, the enigmatic mother of Voldemort, as we mark one year of Critical Magic Theory. Merope's contentious life story, shaped by a web of abuse and desperation, invites a deeper examination of the societal and family dynamics that molded her path.

    In this episode, we scrutinize Merope's struggle for empowerment against the backdrop of a turbulent family life, drawing parallels to Harry Potter's own hardships. With a focus on her role as a mother and a pureblood, we confront the challenging dichotomy of victimhood and villainy, exploring whether her circumstances justify her controversial decisions.
