Died because she had set herself to a life of misunderstanding? We all make mistakes, some larger than others, but Azula showed that she had a heart by breaking down because she lost her friends along with loosing her life style. Her past needs to die, not her in general.

| The problem she had was that she couldn't appreciate the fact that Ursa really did love her. Azula thought that because Ursa saw so many bad things in her it meant that Ursa didn't love her, when really she did, Ursa loves Azula unconditionally, as a mother should. I think she did know it, as she hallucinated Ursa saying it, but maybe she didn't want to believe it. Either way, after her friends (and let's not forget her own brother) betrayed her she felt paranoid, like she had to control everyone through fear. She really started to lose it when she 'spoke' to Ursa though. In the end, I do feel slightly sorry for her, it wasn't entirely her fault. Maybe what Zuko said to Ozai can apply to Azula too. Maybe her time in prison (since that's almost definitely where she is) will set her on the right path. |
My favorite scene in the entire finale was her completely snapping and breathing fire while sobbing. I actually felt horribly sorry for her. For practically two seasons, the show has shown that Azula is a juggernut of a villian: beautiful, intellegent, cunning, manipulative, fearsome, and on top of all of that, she's a hell of a fighter. And she's been treated as such for a majority of her life.
Then to see it all unwind the way it did and see the process of her own madness and nature finally getting the best of her made for a great emotional scene when she just completely lost it. I think the part with her mother was very telling, as was her ref. to Ty Lee and Mai betraying her: I think to some degree, Azula actually saw the pair as her 'friends', or at least, her concept of them, and when they defied her will, more so (I think in Mai's degree) for Zuko, the 'outcast' of the family, it hurt her deeply. As well as when her father decided to leave her behind and she demanded not to be treated like Zuko: I think that was very telling as well. In a sense, she was just like Zuko: always striving to be in her father's good light, wanting to be his favorite. She always was mind you, so I suppose when it seemed like his faith in her had faultered, it only made her own self doubt and loathing worse. Sure, getting Fire Lord was nice, but I think it still bothered her that he wouldn't take her with him.
Azula was a horrible person, a spoiled brat that was use to getting her way and upholding herself to ridiculously high expectations of herself (she seemed to be a bit of a perfectionist too). She had someone that could have shown her a better path (her mother) but I honestly believe she had something to do with getting rid of her (whether it be banishment or otherwise) and to a degree, I honestly believe she's regretted it, somwhere deep down. And her father...honestly, his 'love' seems to come with how much you can 'please' him. She learned the concept of 'love' and all other such feelings from him, and suffered greatly for it in the end.
I can't help but feel sorry for Azula in the end.

Showed heart? Azula had a phycological break. Whatever accute paranoia disorder she had finally got to her and caused in to crack. If anything it was to show how inhuman she was, basically the opposite have "heart."

She didn't have anything deep down inside, because she was raised as a product of her enviroment. THe extreme pressure from her father at such a young age made her disassociate fear and trust. She knows nothing other than what she does, and for that she is a very honest character. But deep down inside is misunderstanding, not heart or goodness. She is a clone of her father. It's undeniable that they are the same person.

The only reason I think there is something there was because of the scene with her mother. The way she reacted to her mother's words (more so if the entire part was just in her head) and the fact that she started to cry after made me think there might have been regrette. I don't deny that she's just like her father (just less stable I believe) but her mother was part of her life and there coud have had some impact, none of which mattered in the end considering for the majority of her life, her father has been her pillar parent it seems. That and the fact that Mai and Ty Lee betrayed her honestly seemed to bother her greatly.

| I felt bad for her. Azula was so perfectly evil and my favourite character until the end of Boiling Rock. I was kinda hoping she would accidently kill herself with lightning in the end but instead we have no idea what happened to her. |
