English Analysis 1

In the episode of Angel there is a demon that takes the fears and insecurities and turns them into certainty and hate. The victims of its torment were tenants in a shifty hotel who all had something to hide. Many people succumbed to visions of their fears and paranoia. Judy was an example of this.
Judy was a bank teller before she was first introduced in the episode. She was doing a very good job until her boss found out she was half black. Her boss fired her and her friends where she worked were alienated from her and began to hate her. Upset she stole money from her job and fled to a hotel where the majority of the story took place.
When she reached the hotel, she hid the money in her room but was still convinced that police would still pursue her and thought about giving the money back. She stayed in a room with the money hidden in it but was still nervous that someone would come. When a police inspector came to her room to look for her, she hid in Angel’s room to find a place to put the money. When Angel came back in she tried to pass herself as a cleaning lady in order to plant the money in his room. At first Angel thought Judy was stealing from him and she begged him not to turn her in. He told her that there was nothing to steal and that she could get out. Soon the police inspector came and knocked on the door when he checked Judy’s room. Instead of turning her in Angel hid her and didn’t let the inspector inside. She lied at first then told Angel why she was in her room. Angel found the money and they had a brief discussion on why she was there. Judy thought that she would be ousted by him but he didn’t and told her that everyone had something to hide and that nobody was who they appeared to be.
When Judy started to hear voices in her head that the paranoia demon planted in her mind, her concerns about being found out started to get anxious about whether to leave or stay, because if she stayed she could be found out, and if she left it would appear suspicious. When the other tenants started to get riled up about a man being shot, her fears started to become reality, because police would come and she would think that they would search her room. The hotel owner decided not to report it because it would lead to bad publicity, but Judy’s fears were still there because she felt that it was imminent that police would come.
The voices in Judy’s head started to get the better of her when she started to panic, so she went to talk to Angel whenever she was afraid. She would reveal a little bit of her story at a time because she trusted him. Angel had already forgiven him a while back when she broke into his room, which gave her a thought. She wondered whether her previous place of work would forgive and forget if she turned the money back in, and if she would be cleared of the charges. However she had doubts because of how her friends turned on her because of her secrets coming to light.
When her voices get worse and when people around her started to get paranoid, she started to have doubts about whether or not she would be forgiven, and started to grow more fearful and paranoid as well. She would get frightened when the tenants started to get aggressive with each other. She was frightened even more when Angel was gone getting some things.
Soon enough when Angel came back from a shop that sold supernatural items, he returned to the hallway with his room to see tenants swarming Judy. They were accusing her of the suicides as murders, and were about to kill her. She then saw Angel coming down the hallway with strange items including an axe. Out of fear and desperation, she shouted out that he was the one. The crowd had no rationality and immediately went after him. Judy watched in horror as they hung Angel over the railing to kill him. Judy left because she thought if she showed sympathy, the crowd would turn on her as well. When everyone left, Angel got down from the railing and removed the noose from his neck.
The paranoia demon appeared to Angel and told him that humans will turn on each other at the slightest chance. Angel believed this because after all the kindness she had shown Judy, the human had turned on her. Angel left the hotel to the demon and told him to do what he wishes with the tenants.
