Psycho Lesbian | |
| The Roommate / int_59ddd555 | comment |
Psycho Lesbian: Rebecca is a possible example. At one point she hooks up with Irene, who's a lesbian, though it's unclear if they had sex or this was just for Rebecca to overpower her. It's quite possible however to view her obsession with Sara as more than simply wanting friendship, since she acts very much like a jealous lover who can't stand Sara's having relationships with anyone else (sexual and otherwise). Rebecca's also never shown or mentioned to have relationships with men (of any kind), and she had a prior obsession with another woman. | |

The Reveal | |
| The Roommate / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: When Rebecca takes Sara to her parents' house for Thanksgiving, her mother asks if Rebecca has been taking her medication. As Rebecca enters the room, her mother then says something along the lines of "Well, I hope you girls have fun!" Later, Sara searches through Rebecca's stuff until she finds the medication in question, noticing that the bottle is full. Sara looks up the medicine's name online, and finds out that Rebecca is (supposed to be) taking medicine for a bipolar/schizophrenic disorder. | |

Horrible Judge of Character: Sara.

| The Roommate / int_e34400ab | comment |
Ambiguously Gay: Rebecca may want more from Sara than just a creepily exclusive friendship or even surrogate sisterhood. At one point, she hooks up with Irene after kissing her. That could have been simply to overpower her at Irene's apartment though. Her behavior with Sara however is easily read as that of a jealous lover who doesn't want anyone between them (whether friends or other lovers), though it's never made explicit that she's attracted to her sexually. | |
