| |OK, first off, why did she not have the option of openly challenging |him? If he's such a terrible monster and everything is entirely his |fault, why is the betrayal of confidences an issue? And if her |motivation was to goad him into telling the truth, why did she focus on |his love rather than on what he was doing wrong? She should have been |taunting him for being spineless, or being a coward, or for secretly |ruining Rachel's life, or something that's actually wrong. No. What |she focused on was his love for her. | |Phoebe wasn't trying to get Ross to do anything right. She was *just* |taunting him, and there is evidence she was primarily keeping his secret |because she enjoyed knowing a secret. Which makes her just as bad as |Ross.
Not just as bad, *worse*. She is easily the Friends character I like the least. She is mean and cruel most of the time. As far as I can tell, her behavior is justified by the fact that she was on the street when she was young, now she has the right to treat people like shit whenever it suits her.
