White Bear: Justice Exhibition

Victoria is the main character in the episode White Bear. She awakens in what seems to be an abandoned house. She has no idea who she is, where she is, or what is going on. She has no memory of past events. Just a ringing in her ears and flashed of what seems to be a white symbol with a black background. Once she starts to explore her surroundings she comes across a picture of a little girl which gives her what seem to be back flashes of an event. She can’t seem to remember who the little girl is or what the memory of the little girl she has means. But yet she feels and connection and believes that is her daughter. Once she steps out of the house looking for answers, people, and help she is soon being chased by an individual trying to kill her. People slowly start to come out of the surrounding buildings not to help her but to record the event that is unfolding. Victoria is yelling for help and questioning all these people as to why they are only recording what is happening instead of helping her. She reaches a gas station where two other individuals are willing to help her. At least that’s what she is made to believe. It was a female and male at the gas station the male is “sacrificed” so that Victoria and the other female can escape. All these events are completely correlated to keep Victoria on a schedule. The last scene Victoria gets to is a building that holds all electricity to the town she is being kept captive in. She and the other female are to destroy the building in order to be able to escape and just when it seems that they will accomplish the escape the scene turns into a stage with an audience. At this point it is explained that Victoria recorded her boyfriend murder her daughter (the little girl on the picture). The public agreed the court didn't give her what she deserved for what she had done to her own daughter so they decided to take matters into their own hands. They made an amusement park where Victoria went through the same thing every single day. From walking up confused to ending up on a stage. To the public making her suffer in this manner and experiencing a close death was the justice she needed to serve. Essentially they were doing what she did to her daughter to her now. So is this really justice? Or is the public becoming the “murderers” trying to take justice? Can justice be accomplished by dropping down to the same level as the criminal. Wouldn't you essentially become a criminal too? If so justice would never be served because everyone would be a criminal at some point.
