Nancy Wheeler 101, today we’re discussing how, throughout the entire show, she’s never lived for herself.
At the beginning all of her motivations are to do with Steve, putting her friendship with Barb to the side, her studies, her relationship with her family. After Barb goes missing everything she does revolves around her. She throws herself into danger, absolutely no regard for her own safety, for the sake of finding her. She puts what Jonathan did at the party aside because she knew they could help each other. She puts the slut-shaming in the back of her mind because it wasn’t important right now.
For the first part of Season 2, Nancy is definitely lost. She wants to live for Steve again, being almost inseparable with him, but there’s also so much of her heart and brain dedicated to Barb. But Barb is gone, and she has no idea how to process that grief. It tears her apart, causing the outburst at the Halloween party. After Steve breaks up with her, she doesn’t talk to Jonathan about the breakup, she only talks about Barb. And then spends the rest of the season on a mission to bring the Lab down, not for herself, but for Barb. Once again, throwing herself into danger by willingly getting kidnapped by them just to gain information.
Season 3, while she is very independent and self-assured, her motivations are still egged on by the prejudice she faced from her bosses. So much of what she did, she did out of spite and stubbornness. During the second half of the season, she repeatedly throws herself into danger to protect the kids, going so far as to pretty much sacrifice herself to them when she puts herself in front of the car when Billy is speeding towards them.
Season 4 gives me the vibes of someone who is persevering because there is nothing else they can do. She’s just lost Fred, and looks so lost and tired on that roadside. It’s clear that she just has no clue what to do with herself now. Note now that investigative instinct kicked in, asking the cop if he’d looked into Victor Creel. He quickly, but gently, shuts it down. Despite the fact that she’s been shut down and only dug her heels in further previously, she looks completely defeated from that one interaction.
But then, the gang arrive with news that it’s Upside Down related. And so she keeps going, because she needs to. But she loses, Max dies and Vecna lives, and add this with the vision of her family dead, I think it’s going to make for a very interesting Season 5 for her.
TLDR everything she’s done, has been motivated by other people. She’s never had any regard for her own safety, always put herself in dangerous situations for the sake of saving others, and never seemed to find actual happiness or peace. In Season 5 she’s got a lot on her plate, the prophetic visions from Vecna, feeling the responsibility of the world on her shoulders. She’s got a very big obligation to keep living, and I truly believe that once it’s all over, once they’re finally at peace, she’s going to suffer way more than she realises, because it’s going to feel like she has nothing left to live for.
