I watched an interview from Julia Sawahla and her perspective on Saffy was surprising. She said Saffy was a freak who took advantage of her circumstances in life while playing herself out to be Olivia Twist.
At first, I was bewildered until I understood what she meant. For the amount of complaining Saffy did, she never left. She tried to live in a dorm and she didn’t last. She was still living with Edina after college because she claimed she couldn’t afford her own place. She never left because she had grown accostumed into the lifestyle she was born in.
Yet she wanted to play the martyr and be contrary because it was her way of rebellion. She couldn’t go wild and party and get drunk because Edina and Patsy already did it so she chose to be the conservative, Helena Bonham-Carter-like daughter who worried about Edina and wanted her love yet was a constant nag.
