Why Does No One Talk About Tom Riddle’s Mother, Merope Gaunt ? The Woman Who Seduced The Man She Obsessively

why does no one talk about tom riddle’s mother, merope gaunt ? the woman who seduced the man she obsessively loved with advanced sorcery and liberated him a year into their marriage just for him to flee and leave her and their son. i think it’s quite strange how pivotal of a character she is and yet how little she is spoken about. she was a horrible person who surrendered to cunning and morbid methods to obtain what she wanted. i think she is even more relevant still because, what if the fact tom riddle was conceived under the illusion of love, the reason he seems to lack emotional compassion, and further yet, cultivate throughout his life a visceral hatred for the world? so was this deranged woman's madness what caused a few decades later the collapse of the magical society? how can the delusion of a one woman who only lived 19 years cause the near ending of an entire civilisation? she reminds me of madame Bovary who let herself be charmed by the illusion of luxury she didn’t have and preferred to end her life than to face the dichotomy that exists between what she wanted and her life.

she was insane, she was struck by divine madness, and she gave birth to chaos itself
