Severance | Wolf 359 - Memoria

I will soar, then, beyond this power of my nature, and rise by degrees towards him who made me. I enter the fields and spacious halls of memory, where are stored the countless images that have been brought into them from all manner of things by the senses. There, in the memory, is stored what we cogitate, either by enlarging or reducing our perceptions, or by altering one way or another those things which the sense have made contact with; and everything else that has been entrusted to it and stored up in it, and which oblivion has not yet swallowed up and buried. 

Hera... what was that?

Umm, it's from St. Augustine. Confessions. I've been going through the writing, and -

Which writing?

Well... all the writing.

Notice how Helena uses "I" instead of "she" and how Milchik gives her the soft sell.

Combine this with:

her embarrassed "My dad forced me to recite the 9 rules as a child and I did not like it then" admission in front of a camera.

James basically thanking her for risking her life for the company and lying about it. He "cried" about the suicide attempt, and yet he didn't even contact his daughter, since he's telling her this now at the gala as an aside to the event. In terms of family emergency time? Too fucking late. Is this the only time Helena's seen him since then? Not to mention how he didn't want to take responsibility and blamed it all on his daughter's alter ego.

And you'll get a more nuanced interpretation than the "Helena pure corporate evil, Helly R. good rebel" binary one.

Despite doing that cruel "I'm a person, you're not" presentation and being determined to see the process through even after Helly tries to commit suicide, there's some part of Helena that must know that this is messed up.

Sure, she's complicit and not a hapless victim, but she's also a product of her upbringing. Stripping her of her privilege, heritage, cult-like brainwashing/indoctrination and Shiv Roy-like desperation to win her dad's approval gives you Helly.

They are the same person under different circumstances.

There are no contradictions between the fundamental makeup of her innie and outie.

The version of herself Helena brings inside Lumon questions everything and demands accommodation and answers, because she is used to getting what she wants as a privileged woman.

What changes her is the different context she's given.

Helena is a wealthy and powerful woman who gets what she wants; Helly is a powerless woman who is often being tortured. It makes sense that her traits—stubborness and determination among others—and the fundamental sense of "I deserve to get what I want" are present in Helly.

But also make no mistake: they're both prisoners. Helly in a more literal sense, Helena in a figurative one—a prisoner in her family and the role that was imposed on her.

A willing participant that benefits from a controlling system is not free from the harm or influence of it. Acknowledging Helena's abusive circumstances doesn't take away from her as an antagonist, it makes her story more compelling.

Helena's self-serving qualities are more a matter of nurture than nature, because Helly shows caring and compassion as well as rebellion and independence. Helly is like a very young version of Helena.

All of the outies' emotions leak through to some extent.

Helly's "Well, that's a given for me [that I'm an asshole out there]" is a pretty safe assumption to make based on Helena's video, but it also oozes self-loathing. Helena taking it out on Helly does too.

Ultimately, I think this happens on a figurative level to a lot of people who undergo an—emotionally in this case— abusive upbringing. Rejecting their most vulnerable parts and imprisoning them. It's a survival mechanism, and helps them feel like they have more control over their out of control personal life. But, in a way, it makes them more out of control once they get into the real world.

Their inner, imprisoned parts find ways to make it so they can't ignore them. We definitely saw that with Helly threatening to mutilate herself and attempting suicide.

There are consequences to denying and imprisoning any part of ourselves over the long term.

I took a severed job because it sounds freaking awesome. So, no, I don't think severance divides us. I think it brings us together. Severance | dir. Ben Stiller & Aoife McArdle

Something I find really interesting about severance is Hellys willingness to fight. From the beginning I thought she must be infiltrating the severance floor as part of the organization trying to outlaw the severance procedure, because of how unwilling she was to accept her life there and her strong sense of right and wrong. I thought the true Helly R must exist in this version of her, some kind of freedom fighter type. But then the twist is she’s the opposite. Her “innie” has the strength that her “outie” never had, she’s a doormat who does what her father expects of her, who upholds this company with an almost religious zeal, she severed herself to help the companies PR! Mark is the same on the inside and out, Helly on the outside has been so beaten down she’s almost unrecognizable. Crazy!!

[deimoslunaa]

Random but I have a theory as to why Helly R was so consistent in her rage and need to rebel the moment she woke up on that table:

Deep in the recesses of her brain; she is a highly privileged woman. She’s the heir apparent and future CEO. And while her integration was political, I don’t think they foresaw how strong specific outie emotions can bubble to the top. For example: Marks grief still surfaces even though he doesn’t understand or know what it is.

The same goes for Helena’s privilege. She’s not used to hearing no. She’s not used to not getting her way in a snap. She’s not used to being bereft of choice and movement. And that’s why Helly is so defiant. And not just defiant but defiant with the aura of presumed power. She really thinks she can call the shots still. She’s not accustomed to being steamrolled.

While Mark also said he was furious and threatened to kill the person behind the speaker, he eventually succumbed because under capitalism, he was always a worker. Whereas Helly was born in the 1% who reap the profits of capitalism.

And therein lies the beauty of the irony that befalls her when she realizes who she truly is on the outside.
