The only thing that kept Buffy going through the Angelus period was the idea that 'Angelus is not Angel- that the soul makes a difference'. She can forgive Angel's body for doing something evil when his soul is someplace else. But, if she allows for the idea that a soulless demon can love and be worthy of being loved then it disolves that hard line between Angel and Angelus. Also, a part of me always wondered if she thought 'Then why couldn't Angel love me without a soul too????'
Oooooh. That is really, really interesting, and I hadn't thought of it that way before. I think that's a really good point! Must ponder...
