What? Mrs. Lovett has a reason to be the way she is! She's starving and her business is failing and no matter what Benjamin/Sweeney won't love her. She's lonely and sad. But I agree with what you said about Mab, I don't think she's 'evil' she's just trying to survive.

she might have been starving but that didnt mean she ahd to cook people... she could have used the cats and dogs like everyone else for meat. and she was pretty insane to believe that Sweeney would ever love her. he was completely devoid of emotion the whole movie.

Not seen this movie but: Why are the people runnin around eatin cats and dogs ? And why are they cooking each other? Can't they just stick a bake tatty in the oven?

True, but she did attempt to use cats, they just didn't work out for her. I don't really think she was insane for believing that he would one day love her, but I do agree that she was out of her normal state of mind. She just thought he needed time. Besides when you are unconditionally in love and devoted to someone, you do kind of go out of your right mind to get just a little bit of attention from that person because without them you feel incomplete. Even if they don't love you back. I could be mad but I don't think she was insane.

True, but she did attempt to use cats, they didn't work out for her though. And what might I ask was wrong with a bake tatty? ;D

^ because it was the victorian era when the poor were very poor and they could scarecly make ends meet (think charles dickens novels)
as to mrs lovett being insane- in the original production she was a much less sympathetic character and the comments she made showed her to be unhinged eg a little priest the movie version made her into a more tragic character but even so she is a lot more evil than Mab in my opinion

Oh well I guess that could explain it eating a human I could understand but not a cat or dog.
