Can Joe and Love Be Called “Made for Each Other” Couple?

After a long break, television’s favorite psychotic murderer is back on Netflix
with fresh episodes of YOU. In three seasons of YOU, Joe Goldberg has managed to
send shivers down the spines of numerous viewers. The man has a whopping ten
people on his “murdered” list in three seasons already.

If he was dating someone as naive as Beck, viewers would have sympathized with
his partner. However, Love Quinn is no less disturbing than the man himself.


JOE AND BECK

Viewers of the show in season 1 were rooting for Guinevere Beck to leave Joe,
hoping he’d grow out of his stalker tendencies over time. He killed everyone
surrounding her that made him feel even slightly threatened. The man killed
Benji Ashby, Beck’s former love interest, Peach Salinger, Beck’s best friend,
and lastly, when he couldn’t contain her, he killed Beck herself.

This showed us that Joe’s intentions were never to protect Beck, no matter what
he told himself in the voice-overs. He always acted in self-interest. Benji’s
teeth in this box were nothing but a trophy. That was the death of Joe’s image
as a romantic but psychotic character. From here on, he would only be known to
fans as a psychopath with stalking tendencies.


JOE AND LOVE

This changes in season two of YOU [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/you/], as Joe
Goldberg meets his new obsession, Love Quinn. At first sight, fans experience
empathy for Love, expecting her to be a mere next endeavor. However, Love later
shows she’s no Beck, and she is nowhere near as innocent.

While Beck lied about framing Dr. Nicky and telling Joe she understood his
reasons to kill, Love has not only killed once in her past- she has killed twice
for Joe.

Her first victim of the series [https://www.netflix.com/title/80211991] was
Delilah Alves, who Joe believed he killed in a drug-induced stupor. Love sees
Delilah in Joe’s book vault and instead of trying to free her, like Beck or
Candace or any other of Joe’s partners would have, she kills her to protect
Joe’s secret.

Her second victim, much to fans’ distraught, was Candace, Joe’s former partner.
Candace traps Joe in his own book vault to show Love his true colors, and yet
again, Love feels compelled to kill, in a rather brutal way.


THE POETIC PARALLELS BETWEEN JOE AND LOVE

By the end of season two, the couple has killed two people, each in the name of
“love”. For Joe, it was Peach and Benji. For Love, Delilah and Candace.

While Joe had killed more people in the initial seasons of the show, Love racks
up her numbers throughout the third season. By the end of the first episode
itself, she has killed Natalie Engler, whom she saw as a rival of Joe’s love.

Love, although due to a mistake, is also responsible for her ex-husband’s death.
In an attempt to get him to stay, she accidentally drugs him with wolfsbane.

Of course, while Love and Joe both had great chemistry and thoroughly enjoyed
each other’s company, their bond is more than that. The similarities between
their killings really do stand out.

In an almost poetic way, Natalie’s death matches that of Benji’s. Joe struggled
for attention with Beck. But Love had done for him exactly what he had done for
Beck. Joe had finally found someone who was just as obsessive as him.

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

And who can forget the ending of the third season of the Netflix Original
[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news/]?

Love and Joe both were equally obsessed with each other. But they were also
equally selfish and, in an act of self-interest, both tried poisoning each other
with wolfsbane. The only difference was that Joe expected it and used an
antidote. Had he not taken precautions, both of them would’ve died a poetic,
tragic, Romeo-and-Juliet-but-make-it-psychotic death.

Considering their obsessive tendencies, both Joe and Love could’ve lived their
murderous little lives together had it not been for Joe’s stalker tendencies
resurfacing. They were both equally calculating, equally psychotic, equally
murderous, and equally passionate for each other.

A match made in heaven indeed.
