Ash is a vain shallow non entity really but not really bad in himself, if he kept better company The way Helen describes people that are different or not as beautiful as she considers herself is deplorable, as inferior things, . I am familiar with the disease thing, a word used by a bully I knew, to attack weaker people,a young girl with tourettes actually, and it usually means ITO you are not as cool, valuable etc as they are.
How do Helen fans feel about her use of language towards Christopher during that task, how is this excused. Chrisopher an intelligent, stable kind man, everything she is not.
She obviously feels superior to Christopher and the rest, and has no idea how she comes across to people and would not care if she did. IHO she can do what she wants and take what she wants. The fact she has a young chi scares me,as she is his role model. A selfish, self absorbed, unkind, cruel, deeply unhappy woman.
I feel sorry for the HM's landed with her this year for the whole term too. A toxic human being.
