I can't say that Juliette overreacted initially when she thought of telling Nick the truth because that must cross any hexenbiest's mind when they think of a grimm. The problem is what happened after, Juliette not being able to reason that Nick would never hurt her and then projecting her own feelings to justify her actions against him. Nick loved her for years and why would he suddenly put killing her her at the top of his list when the woman he hated the most was still breathing? Adalind was able to calmly work through her fears because she didn't want to lose what she had and that was paltry in comparison to what Juliette had with Nick at the time of their confessions to being a hexenbiest (again in Adalind's case).(09-13-2017, 12:44 AM)rpmaluki Wrote:(09-12-2017, 03:45 PM)irukandji Wrote:Nick is a grimm out of necessity. He doesn't go out of his way to hunt down wesen. He deals with them as they cross his path. Why should being a hexenbiest be any different if they so chose? Hexenette embraced everything about that and ended up exacting violence and mayhem of epic proportions and had to be forcibly dialed back in order to function. That's not the same thing as shying away from being a hexenbiest. Monroe and Rosalee don't walk around in full woge, none of the wesen do. The blutbad and fuchsbau comes out when they deem it necessary because someone is threatening those they love. Whatever embarrassment you're referring to is probably due to her past misdeeds. Both women are wary of what they did when they were at their worst as hexenbiests, Catherine had no compulsion to be good so her "conscience" was clear because she didn't really have any. Her treatment of Adalind upon losing her powers shows how emotionally detached/cold she was to even her own daughter. She was proud of what she was so no need to hesitate, shy away or be embarrassed by being a hexenbiest, especially when it gets her whatever she wants.(09-12-2017, 05:41 AM)rpmaluki Wrote: In the end, they both used their hexenbiest as per necessity.
But is that all it is with hexenbiests? Just necessity? I was thinking that there is a heritage to these witches. Many of them were skilled healers. I didn't care for Catherine, but she seemed to know her stuff when it came to bringing Juliette out of her coma. Adalind seems to deal with her hexenbiest differently. She almost seems embarrassed by it.
Well, this is why I lost all respect for Juliette when she became a Hex. Her battle cry was that a Grimm would kill a Hex on site, if he had the chance. Meanwhile Juliette was a witness to Nick not killing Adalind, Henrietta and Elizabeth.
She was well aware that he had no ill feelings for those women. He was sort of, on guard, in their presence but he was never on the war path. If you go back to the Bee episode. He ended up protecting Adalind, asa Hex, let alone, let the Queen Bee kill her.
Here is another point I forgot to make about, as you stated, “Juliette’s overreacted initially”. The rest of the Wesen world grew up fearing Grimms. To the Wesen children, Grimms were the Boogie-Man. They grew up instilled with all those fears of being decapitated by one, if they ever ran into one.
How many scenes did we see in the series on how shocked most Wesen were when they faced Nick as a Grimm and then were even shocked more, to see him treat them fairly, unless they committed or were committing a crime. Juliette was well aware of this. She knew how fair he was with so many Wesen.
Meanwhile She was only a Hex for a few weeks. She never grew up and was never exposed to fearing Grimms. But, in a few weeks, she was an expert on Grimm behavior and Hexes. She was a witness to how he treated other Wesen, including Hexes. And how he worked with Renard, Monroe, Rosalee and Wu. But somehow, she feared he was going to kill the love of her life. “Overreacted” is an understatement!
