Because She Was Truly Good
Despite the moderately well-grounded reasoning for kill Chelsea - at least from an emotionally impactful narrative perspective - her luck is one of the most shocking and disconcerting inThe White Lotus ' intact run . The main intellect for this is that Chelsea has seldom been shown as anything other than good . ThroughoutThe White Lotusseason 3 , Chelsea is shown as a morally righteous , barren , inherently skilful person who only wishes to serve those around her , be it Saxon or Rick himself .
Chelsea did not really have any character flaws , only making her destiny more tragic …
AlthoughThe White Lotus ' other deaths have never been set to only bad masses , rarely are the victims as good as Chelsea . Even Rick himself has his topic , as did the likes of Tanya and Armond fromThe White Lotus ' anterior seasons . None of these reference were outright terrible humans , but they had their less attractive fault , from Tanya ’s ego - absorbed way to Armond ’s spitefulness in ruining Shane and Rachel ’s honeymoon . Of course , they did not merit to die which made their death suitably sorry , but Chelsea did not really have any lineament flaw , only making her destiny more tragic .
