Discussion YMMV / GoneGirl

Does Amy Dunne qualify for the Faux-Affably Evil trope? Particularly in the book. In her internal monologue, Amy describes the psychotic actions she does to frame Nick like bleeding herself out and stealing Noelle's pee to appear pregnant like it's no big deal. In addition, when she talks about Nick cheating on her with Andy, she acts like it doesn't bother her but it's clear she's barely containing her rage. Is that enough?

• Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: At the end of the movie/book, Nick is now living with a woman who framed him and basically set him up to take the death-penalty, and is now very aware that Amy is clever enough- and wicked enough- to kill him or ruin his life if he doesn't stay with her. Can't help but wonder what call people would be making on this situation if the genders were reversed and it were a woman living in fear of her husband.

I removed this for two reasons: 1) Not YMMV. 2) How does it count as a Double Standard? Neither the film nor the book play what Amy does to Nick as okay or justified.
