I'm sitting back and reading some of these post of rehashing this again for what, the 3rd or 4th time on various posts? It is entertaining on how far some will dig to come up with excuses of behavior that there is no excuses for.
Juliette being a Hexenbiest was like someone being drunk. Some drunks just pass out and fall asleep. Some become real friendly and forget any other relationship. Their focus is in pursuit for self-gratification. Then there is the bad drunk, the violent drunk, the one that does stupid things that gets them jailed. Now, I don't claim all drunk fall in these specific categories but some do and most, more likely, are combinations of all 3 in varying degrees.
Someone pointed out to me years ago, being drunk was like drinking a truth serum. It removes all your inhibitions and frees one to act as their real uninhibited persona is really like, from deep inside.
Juliette became and was a bad drunk. A bad drunk, and power was her alcohol. It wasn't the Hex in her that made her evil. The Hex in her gave her the opportunity to be evil. There was no Hex possession of her. She was the one to possess the Hex in her by embracing what she became.
The only difference between a drunk and Juliette was, she did not choose to become a Hex. She did choose to drink the potion and unfortunately she became drunk with power. She did not plan on it, just like a drunk doesn't plan on being stupid before they get drunk.
She had choices to make and made poor ones. She should be held accountable for her choices of actions. Just as a drunk behind the wheel of a car after they kill someone. They might not have planned for it but in the end, they are the ones responsible for that kill.
Making all these excuses does not change the results and does not excuse her. Her character didn't either. Her way to live with her bad choices was to separate her self from her former persona. As Eve she was committed to to stamping out evil. How long would she have taken to stomp out her herself if she accepted how evil she once was?
