Young Patty Hearst before her kidnapping.



continued from part 1

Since discovering that Hearst robbed a bank, many speculated on the possible reasons of her sudden identity transformation. The American public could not understand how someone who belonged to a prominent family could rapidly turn cruel and heartless. There were hearsays claiming that Hearst was associated with the SLA even before her kidnapping. Some theorized that her falling in love with one of the members influenced the change. Still, there were also those who believed that she was brainwashed into accepting the SLA’s ideologies.

If there is truth in Hearst’s association with the SLA before her abduction then her behavior afterwards could then be explained as the revelation of her true self. If this is the case, then Patty would have already sympathized with the creed of the SLA and was already against the rich. But because she, herself, was loaded she felt guilty about her wealth. In order to combat her culpability, she compensated for it by joining the group. (to be continued...)
