This was writtian as a response to someone on DevianART.
Amanda's life was completely normal before Eric Matthews arrested her on a false Drug Possession charge.
Of course when she entered her imprizonment she became a drug addict and Heroine of all things can severely destroy someone mentally, turn them into something that they never thought they were capable of being. Her line in SAW II: "You can't know the things anda lose when you're locked away." And that's exactly true, in fact I think it's truer than even AMANDA knew! Amanda didn't even realize what had happened to her.
Upon her release, with nothing left to lean on, she turned to her Heroine addiction to get her through, and in fact it nearly killed her. Jill Tuck was absolutely correct, Amanda was a "lost soul."
Jigsaw's game broke her of the one habbit, but it never really freed her atau gave her an alternative worth persuing. She became his apprentice, but she was never truly re-born, only traumatized over and over again.
Amanda has been called the "Fictional Poster Child for Stockholm syndrome." Forgive me if it sounds like I'm insulting your intellegence, but to clarify, Stockholm Syndrome is when a victim of Kidnapping comes to feel an intense sense of loyalty to her captor.
Amanda was never lebih than a continued test subject. Even Special Agent Strahm berkata it, when Perez berkata that Jigsaw "never kept a subject that long." He responded, "no one but Amanda Young." Even in her final hours Amanda was no lebih than a test subject to him.
One thing that alot of Amanda critics like to peg her for is her unwinnable games. Unlike Jigsaw, Amanda had such a hard life and had been skrewed over so many times, that it was impossible to be emotionally attached to the victims that she was testing, not just Eric Matthews, but also Det. Kerry (bear in mind her and Matthews used to be partners). While Jigsaw preached Emotional-Detatchment from the test subjects, Amanda could not achieve it, not due to her own malice, but because of the vendetta she felt towards the world that had robbed her of a normal and innocent life.
And then we throw in the wild card: Det. Hoffman. Hoffman never liked Amanda from hari one because he felt that Amanda was a worthless junkie, just like Eric Matthews did. He planned Amanda's failure from the moment Jigsaw revealed who's test it really was. He had no faith in her, and even set her up, helped her fail. His black-male note which sent her over the edge had two major flaws in it. Number one: Amanda was not responcible for the loss of Jigsaw's unborn son. Number two: Even if that argument can't be made, the events that transpired at the drug rehab clinic took place before Jigsaw even knew he had cancer, before Cecil's game (who was the real person responcible for the death of Jigsaw's son), and much before Amanda's first test. She was not "reborn" and therefore, her "Reborn" self could not and most likely would not have been held accountable for the loss of Jigsaw's son, in the eyes of her mentor.
Amanda loved Jigsaw, not romantically, but as a daughter. anda can tell this just oleh the way the film was shot, several of the shots are of that of a little girl looking up at her father. Amanda was completely devoted to him, and in my opinion would have made a much better sucessor than Hoffman did. She appreciated John's work. While she was not able to follow his model exactly due to her hard, and unfortunate life, she appreciated it. Hoffman tried to undermine Jigsaw's emotional detatchment. The line in SAW VI where he goes "Come on, anda want him to suffer just as much as I do." was clear evidence of that. Hoffman didn't care about Jigsaw, he only saw Jigsaw's games as a way to exact "justice" on those he couldn't get through the legal system.
