Dark Comedy ‘Darlings’: Inspects Complexities of Domestic Abuse

Author(s) Neeru

Abstract woman's existence can be profoundly transformed by a single act of physical aggression. A single instance of physical abuse within a marital relationship has the potential to shatter all illusions of love, trust, and security. Sexual and physical violence against women that occurs repeatedly in relationships can leave victims emotionally and mentally drained and with long-term effects. The widespread problem of domestic violence blatantly violates women's basic human rights. Domestic violence refers to acts of assault or physical altercations that occur within domestic environments, like marriages, living together, or romantic relationships. Domestic violence is a long-standing issue in civilization as a whole, affecting individuals of all races, cultures, and ethnicities. It stems from patriarchal systems that seek to impose male dominance and control over women within houses.
This article assesses the portrayal of domestic violence in
"Darlings," a black comedy available for streaming on Netflix. Despite the serious and dark subject matter, one might expect Darlings to be a challenging film to watch.
However, it pleasantly surprises viewers by incorporating elements of comedy, including comedy of errors. The film skilfully balances the seriousness of the proceedings with well-crafted black humour.
Keywords Patriarchy, Toxic masculinity, Domestic Violence, Abusive marriage, revenge
