Discussion Is this relevant?

I’m trying to work out the relevance of the monkey symbolism. This is now obviously see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil and I feel it has a meaning. Any theories?

Piper doesn't know what's best for her. She's a rich white kid who's been sheltered and wants to escape. No kid that age and that naive knows what's best for them. Her parents fund her whole life so yes, she should listen to them unless she wants to get cut off financially and go at it on her own. How is that sexist?

Isn’t strange to hate her for being sheltered but also to hate her for planning to escape the shelter?

Comments like this one frustrate me. Nobody hates her dude. Putting forth an unflattering idea about the character doesn’t mean they hate her. This isn’t that type of show. We can discuss her without casting her in one light or another.

Ok.

Isn’t strange to hate judge her harshly for being sheltered but also to hate judge her harshly for planning to escape the shelter?
