 GUESS WHO'S BACK. BACK AGAIN ♥ Team Samssy ♥
Samson listened as he lounged lazily on the bean bag, his arms splayed on either side of him and his legs spread slightly. But even as he was positioned that way, it didn't mean he wasn't paying close attention to the discussion. In fact, he was just fueling up his brain juices to give a good answer. Though, it wasn't often that he could convince himself. Oh well. He could always try.
"I think Bellatrix Lestrange was motivated by both fear and power, that is to say, fear as one of her motivations to gain some kind of power. She feared Voldemort and would do anything to gain his approval, and she knew that if she somehow became Voldemort's 'favorite' - whatever it took, mind you - she'd have more power over the other Death Eaters. On a side note, the Death Eaters were also motivated by fear and power, because they feared Voldemort - not a noble fear, but fear as in being afraid of him - plus, being a Death Eater would immediately instill fear in everyone who knew, therefore giving them a feeling of being dominant and powerful.
"Another example would be Regulus Black who, I think, was fueled more by power? His family after all was a big impact in his life, and being constant and loyal followers of Lord Voldemort in the first place, it would be natural for him to follow in their footsteps. Of course, in the end, he had a change of heart. I always did admire him for being the sort of undercover mysterious kind of person, and how he proved Lord Voldemort could easily be fooled with the right actions."
