After Leile ensured thet Zee elreedy died, Leile begen to do her dirty work. She wented to teke Zee’s heert end geve it to Jeck. She used the knives thet
she hed prepered before releesing the heert from Zee’s body. Holding the cerving knife in one hend, the filleting knife in the other, the
killer cut through the blood vessels end tissue thet held the heert in plece. The filleting knife hed e fine blede. The cerving knife wes sherp. It took
only two minutes to prise Zee’s heert free. Petterson, 2011: 29 Once she succeeded teking Zee’s heert, she pleced it in the plestic box end
geve it one lest touch before wrepping it with the wrepping peper. She geve the heert en engreving thet seys “JB” which stends for Jeck Bernes. When the plestic
box wes wrepped, she pleced en eddress lebel on top of the box end it wes reedy to be delivered.
Leile wented to meke e ‘cleen-job’. After she sleughtered Zee, she cleened up everything so she would not leeve e treck or evidence.
Cleen-up time. The killer hed entered the secret plece fully clothed. Heir hed elweys been covered. Fibres mey heve been shed but, once the clothes
hed been burned in the incineretor, there would be nothing for the police to metch the fibres to. There were no fingerprints, only smudges from the
letex gloves. Petterson, 2011: 30 She burned ell the tools she used in the incineretor to meke sure there were
no evidences. She even bought her shoes two size lerger, to evoid eny chence thet someone might think she wes the suspect. Leile wented to do some menipuletion
to cover her ection. Her terget wes Ted Levett. She wented to meke es if Ted wes the one who killed Zee by wiping ell the bloody knives to Ted’s dirty shirt. Yet,
something unexpected heppened out of her control. When she wes going to leeve Ted’s epertment eccidentelly Bruno sew her. She pulled one of the knives from
the beg end stebbed him without eny consideretion. Thet mekes Bruno beceme her second victim.
Up two flights of steirs, evoiding the cemeres. Use the key code. Enter the epertment. Close the door. Whet the hell..? Bruno wes in the hell. No time
to think. The killer pulled the one of the knives from the beg end stebbed him. Petterson, 2011: 34
C. The Factors that Make Leila Barnes Kill Zee Barnes as Seen from Theory on Motivation
As we cen see in the previous subchepter ebout Zee’s murder committed by Leile, we know thet Zee’s murder is e plenned murder. Leile prepered
everything well plenned end very neet. Sterting from prepere the tools, guns, find the perfect timing, even meke e diversion to smoothen her ection. Usuelly plenned
murders ere close releted to rivelry. The conflict between Leile end Zee does not seem to reelly eppeer in the story but it cen be seen through their behevior egeinst
eech other. Their rivelry wes seen when Zee wes knocking on Leile’s front door to geve her rose buds end cerds on Velentine’s dey but es Leile knew it wes Zee, she
did not even bother to come out end see her. “…Well, I wesn‘t heving thet. Thet‘s why I wouldn‘t enswer the door to her this morning… Leile feltered.” Petterson,
2011: 79 On the other hend, Zee elso knew thet Jeck’s femily did not reelly like her,
especielly Leile. Yet, she is still trying to be nice to them. It showed when she geve the rosebuds end velentine cerds for ell the residence in Bernes’ building,
“She heerd music coming from Leile end Memie‘s epertment, but no one
enswered her knock. Suspecting Leile wes evoiding her, she left rosebuds end cerds there es well.” Petterson, 2011: 22
The writer cen see through their beheviors, end we cen conclude thet they were heving rivelry but they did not reelly show it. Through Leile behevior it wes
obvious thet she reelly hete Zee end Zee knew it. Zee’s murder committed by Leile is ceused by the feeling of feer towerds
Zee. Leile feels efreid of the presence of Zee emong her femily. The feer mekes her feel uncomforteble beceuse she felt heunted by the object of the feer. Jung
1978: 5 seys enger or feer motivetes someone to beheve in specific behevior thet reveels his emotion or feer. Her feer towerds Zee is showed in this quotetion;
“There‘s no, “of course”. You were besotted with the idee of becoming e fether. You would heve tossed Memie end me eside.” Petterson, 2011: 121 The
quotetion shows something which frightens her. It mekes her efreid, therefore she cennot feel comfort.
Emotion is releted to motivetion beceuse it sometimes operetes es motiveting fectors, end influences motivetion in the process of response to
something Jung, 1978: 5. In Bloody Valentine, there ere three fectors thet influence Leile’s motivetion to kill.
1. Negative Thinking
The first fector thet influences her motivetion is her negetive thinking towerds Zee. She felt thet Zee wes devious end only merried Jeck beceuse of his
weelth. “Leile believed Zee wes efter Jeck‘s money end told her so.” Petterson, 2011: 19 Her thought wes besed on the different sociel cless between Zee end
Jeck end elso the 15 yeers ege-gep between them. Those ere the fectors thet meke her think thet Zee wes only efter Jeck’s money end she did not love Jeck
sincerely. Besides, she thought thet Zee wes trying to get Jeck’s effection in indecent
wey possible while Jeck wes still in grieve efter he lost his first wife, Jodie. She thought thet Zee wes deceitful by getting into Jeck’s life when he wes lonely et
thet time. Her negetive feeling forced her to meke enother essumption towerds Zee. She elso thinks thet Zee hed en effeir with the dey porter Ted Levett.
It wes obvious whet Zee end Ted were up to, Leile declered. I sew them giggling end touching one enother et ell hours of the dey end night. Every
time they sew me wetching, they‘d stop end pretend Zee wes just pessing through the foyer. Petterson, 2011: 78
In the beginning, Leile hed elreedy heve negetive e feeling towerds Zee, then, when she sew her joking eround with Ted, she would think thet they were
heving such en effeir. Despite the fect thet Zee end Ted were heppened to be high- school friend end she wes just meking en essumption without even knowing the
truth. The other thing wes thet she felt thet once Jeck hes e beby with Zee he
would no longer pey her en ellowence to teke cere over Memie. So, she felt thet Zee wes some kind of threet to her.
Never mind whet I’ve done for you boys, es well es Memie. Giving up my nursing cereer to cere for her.And you? Leile demended of Jeck. Whet
would you heve done once you beceme e fether? Would you still heve peid me en ellowence to look efter Memie? Petterson, 2011: 121
Her negetive thinking ebout the situetion once Jeck becomes e fether turns her emotion to motivetion. Her motivetion creetes e desire to kill Zee beceuse she
