The Thin Lines of Morality : White Bear

In the Episode "White Bear" on Black Mirror it begins with a young woman " Victoria" wakes up in what appears to be an attempted suicide leaving her with amnesia. almost immediately after leaving her home she finds unresponsive residents recording her and finds herself being hunted. Later in the episode she is accompanied by a woman who tells her the world is under a trance by a mysterious broadcast image,and the few that aren't are " entertaining " them by terrorizing innocents. In the end it is revealed that Victoria is a child murder and in a twisted poetic justice is having the same thing done to her as the child she filmed had. Due to her lover killing himself in prison it was made sure that she would receive "justice", so she forced to repeat the same day over and over while having her memories erased. I personally believe that this is a inhumane punishment,but it fits the inhumane crime committed. An argument could be placed that Victoria did not even know who she was or about the murder she committed, because she didn't know who she was and believed the victim was her daughter. In technicality they were punishing an innocent person if their is no possibility that she can be rehabilitated from  things she cannot recall. In the case of eye for an eye laws the crime is actually unfitting of the punishment when she is more psychologically harmed than physically harmed if at all physically. She also talks about being under her lovers 'spell' meaning she could've been a victim of a abusive relationship in which instance our criminal justice system would not hold her accountable for her actions. Aside from all this it shows people's lack of sympathy when technology is involved, and its use for entertainment purposes. As if her punishment being broadcast  was some not only a deterrent for future crimes but to also pose as a type vigilantism. We live in a society  where the more explicit and violent the actions taking place are the more people that will want to view it. This is especially true when their is an electronic screen separating us from the actually event and real-time and place it is happening. We feel as if we are another unaccounted for viewer, and the items seen on screen are simply for our viewing pleasure. So in a sense when technology is accounted for we are inadvertently paying for everything that we view. A scary thought.
