Albeit a love story gone wrong, it is still a love story. Emily is not a cold-blooded killer in the sense that Jeffery Dahmer or even Dexter Morgan are. She does not kill for fun nor is she seeking some type of justice in the world. Emily kills for love or, more specifically, the lack of love in her life. Murdering Homer was a last resort for an aging woman who never found a healthy kind of love with a man with which she grow old. In a moment of prolonged and painful desperation, she kills Homer in order to keep him in her life. Love makes the world go round but it also creates obsessive, crazed individuals when things do not go as planned.
