Still Hate The Office's Pam? This Fan Theory Will Prove You Wrong
She deserves a good treatment despite being hated by many viewers.
The Office is one of the main sensations of American television. For nine seasons, the show has managed to capture its fans with interesting plots, funny jokes and life situations. But for many viewers, there are still some unanswered questions.
For example, some fans still dislike Pam Beesly, who appears at the very beginning of The Office as a local sweetheart who can charm anyone.
Pam is a receptionist at the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin, where much of the show takes place. She is known for her sweet, friendly, and caring attitude. Throughout the series, she undergoes personal growth, transforming from a shy and reserved heroine to a confident and assertive woman.
Pam is also known for her complicated love story with co-worker Jim Halpert and her creative ambitions. However, many viewers still believe that Beesly is not as sweet as she seems at first glance. She often manipulates people to get a better position, teases Jim for a long time, ruins his relationship with Karen, and limits his ambitions.
But recently, Redditor aless_09 tried to refute the common opinion of The Office fans about Beesly. The user recalls that from the very beginning of the series, Pam tried to get into art school, even took courses there, but then returned to Jim.
Many viewers believe that Beesly simply lacked creative talent, as the series suggested several times. However, Redditor points out that Pam was successful in art school, but was unwilling to build a life away from Jim, who proposed marriage to her.
Fans often condemn Beesly's behavior in seasons 8-9, when she prevented Jim from moving to Philadelphia, where he and his friends had started a company that was a great career opportunity.
But if you follow the Redditor theory, Pam left all her artistic ambitions behind to start a new family. So she had every right to be jealous of Halpert. After all, she destroyed all her dreams to live with him.
And at the end of the series, Beesly realized her mistake and moved to Austin with Jim. This once again confirms Pam's self-sacrificing behavior.
