Thoughts on Aria
I rewatched pll for the first time in years since watching it as a young teenager and I see Aria in such a different light now. Somehow when I was young Aria was my favourite character. I loved her funky style (and still do), I weirdly liked her relationship with Ezra (don’t flame me for it, I was so wrong), and I thought she was pretty.
Upon rewatching it I realise she is in my opinion the worst friend out of all of the liars, there was one specific moment I couldn’t get past that I think about often and wanted other peoples opinions on it and just on Aria in general.
When Hannah confronted Aria about Zack hitting on her. It just left such a bad taste in my mouth the way that Aria got so defensive, as I feel she does quite often when confronted with hard truths. I can’t believe she wouldn’t believe her best friend or even question Zack on it. I know she eventually comes around but it was just really upsetting how she completely shut Hannah down instantly and invalidated her feelings. I feel like Aria is very selfish and I think that is what I like least about her.
Also when Aria confronts Ella about it and Ella admits that she knew he had done things like this in the past, or at least been accused of these things in the past blows my mind and also makes me look at Ella differently too.
I also find that anytime someone she loves could be suspected as A she shuts it down instantly, even though she’s the first to throw accusations at the other liars loved ones.
Im curious to know what everyone’s thoughts are on Aria and especially the Hanna and Zack situation.
