There now a definite emerging theme of protecting and caring for one's own interests vs. the interests of other and those around you. Ludmila is probably having the hardest time in this debate, as she is constantly stuck between protecting her own interests and trying to support the family and protect the family's interests. Unfortunately, she has always chosen her family up to this point despite having many opportunities open to her. She could easily escape with her boyfriend and head West, and she knows English, so she could easily get a job somewhere. However, she continues to stay with her family, even though they treat her terribly.
Blair, too, has to face this dilemma. He was recently separated from his twin, Bunny, and the two are now trying to live a normal life with the funds and programs that the government gave them after they received so much media attention. Blair seeks to find a job and start a lifelong career, whereas Bunny choses to lounge at home, living off of government welfare checks. This debate gets them into constant arguments and even turns violent occasionally. However, Bunny is soon learning that he needs Blair to help him survive and get a job, as he is running low on funds and is extremely sensitive to light. Blair, like Ludmila, chooses to support his brother.
I suppose in Blair's case, I can see why he would chose to help his sibling. The two of them have a very strong bong and Bunny is truly in need of Blair's support to keep living a normal life. Ludmila, on the other hand, I just can't quite figure out. She is very talented and could easily find a better life, but instead, choses to live with her family, who treat her terribly in the first place.
