Berry keeps her eye on the tiger. To the exclusion of all else. I mean, all Cruella really wanted was a fur coat, right?
Other misunderstood women include Cruella DeVille, The Evil Queen, Ursula ... etc. ... any number of scary female villans from your last seen Disney movie.
And so ... in the spirit of being completely deluded and apart from reality (because the alternative is waaaaay too bleak), Berry will do everything and anything she can to remain deluded.
Anything else would be complete mediocrity ... and that is horrifying to her.

I agree with you on all these women being completely misunderstood in Disney movies (save the Evil Queen.. that woman just had issues), and it particularly bothers me that most of these
women's motives to be "evil" were fueled by jealousy, envy, and vanity. You can
really tell how far back in years these movies go, huh? Anyway, slightly off topic.
I think Berry might have even been considered a wee bit psychotic. But really; I couldn't see any difference between her and any other possessive and jealous female doubling as a body guard to her heart's desire. It even pissed me off a little that Mac cut her rubber band and took away
her hard work. I mean, building a GIANT rubber band ball just to get someone as aloof as Bloo to roll his eyes your way? I admit, I don't
enjoy my boyfriend's friends hanging out all the time, particularly when I'm around and want to have some alone time; it's intrusive. If it keeps up day after day, you BET *I'm* gonna be raising heck over it. Berry took it one step further; though everything she did to get Mac out of the picture was pleasingly quiet, yet obvious. Until she snapped. It just depends on what your concept of socially acceptable reactions are. Those are just my two cents.
