There were several things that tipped me off on Miss Abigail and Typhoid Mary. I did a post on "What Would You Do?" about Typhoid Mary called "A Scared Little Girl, In A Woman's Body". Walker was her name. Mary was abused as a child, and to deal with that her psyche created a person that was more capable of combating the abuse. (I must use a disclaimer here, that I am in no way insinuating that Miss Abigail was abused. The reason that Mary became who she was, is the similarity, not the cause.) This created Typhoid. Typhoid was the offensive side of her personality. The one that rose in anger to combat the filthy men that infest this world. Men that show no respect for a woman. Men that use and abuse them.
But Mary . . . Mary was the exact opposite of Typhoid. Mary was the "skin" of all the personalities. She was what made the apperances. What her psyche wanted people to precieve she was. She was cool and confident, strong and sexy. She didn't have to go looking for men, they came looking for her. It was the confidence that she didn't have herself.
Then there was Typhoid Mary, the composite of both personalities. She was made up of Mary and Typhoid, and all the pentup things and dark feelings of Walker. She was created to try and heal and hide the damage that her abuser had done to her.
I guess what I could say the similarities between Miss Abigail and Typhoid Mary, is the extreme differences in "personalities". I have seen some of Miss Abigail's posts, when she is angry about something. When she is angry, she is angry. A heated rightouse anger. One of the first times that I saw such a post, it was most surprising. As the times that I had talked to her, she was most sweet and endearing. Someone that I could not imagine was filled with so much anger and frustration. That is until I did find the source of it . . .
But still Miss Abigail didn't seem like that kind of person. But that she is. So I guess it seems as Miss Abigail is Typhoid Abigail. 8-) That is not a bad thing Miss Abigail, we all have two sides to our personality.
The good thing about the end of the story is that Spider-Man, through his acts of kindness, is able to make her realize who her true self was, and was able to surpress Typhoid. Although in the great gist of comics, of course Typhoid resurfaces and the story starts again.
Well that is my thoughts on Miss Abigail and Typhoid Mary. I hope that in my attempt I made no offence Miss Abigail 8-)
