What Do the Cursed Doll and Nene Represent in the Series?
So recently in instagram I watched the series of episodes of the cursed doll and nene arc.
I came up with a theory about what the relationship between the Cursed Doll and Nene might mean in the series.
I think the rabbit could represent inner conflict or guilt that comes after bullying someone.
Nene and her mother take out their frustrations on the doll, seemingly thinking that they can hurt it without facing any consequences. This could parallel real-life bullying, where someone sometimes takes their own frustration, anger, or insecurity out on another person.
But in the series, Nene eventually has to suffer the consequences of what she does to the doll. I think this could symbolize the guilt and inner conflict that a bully may experience after hurting someone, even if they initially believe there will be no consequences. some bullies experience this" guilt " in real life , too
There are also some details about Nene that make me wonder whether the series is intentionally hinting at this.
Nene doesn't seem to have any close female friends. She mostly hangs around with the boys, where she can be quite bossy and tries to control them and decide how they should play. She also doesn't get along well with Ai-chan.
None of this necessarily proves that Nene is a bully, but it makes me wonder whether Nene may have bullied or mistreated someone in the past, and that the Cursed Doll is somehow connected to that side of her character.
Maybe the rabbit isn't simply a supernatural threat. Perhaps it represents theinner conflict or guilt that comes after bullying someone.
Obviously, this is just my interpretation, and we may never get a definitive answer. But I think the parallel between the doll being used as an outlet for frustration and Nene eventually experiencing the consequences is interesting.
What do you guys think?
