To make this assertion even clearer, Kelly Reilly pointed out during the interview how Evelyn Dutton hung the accident that killed her on Beth (via YouTube). This led to the character being forced to shoulder a titanic burden from a time when she was still just a child all the way through to her adulthood. “Her mother even told her that ‘this is your fault,’ as she died,” Reilly recalled.
“I think there is some unconscious part of Beth really trying desperately to compensate for that loss, and she never will,” the actor went on. Ultimately this is the tragedy of Beth Dutton in “Yellowstone,” as she’s spent her entire life since she was a child trying to make up for something that really wasn’t even her fault. After all, it’s not as if it was Beth’s idea to go horseback riding on that trip. She made it clear that she was uncomfortable riding a horse, but her mom forced her to go.
“Forgiveness is such a big thing for her,” Reilly continued. “I don’t think she can forgive herself.” As her brother Jamie (Wes Bentley) said to Beth early on in “Yellowstone,” “If hating me keeps you from hating yourself, I’ll be there for you.” Unfortunately, with the rift between the siblings at an all-time high, it seems unlikely that the two will ever again have such a moment of honesty and understanding.
