Judge Turpin raped her, and then she tried to kill herself with arsenic. But instead of dying, she became crazy. At the end, Sweeney accidentally kills her, thinking that she's just a homeless, beggar woman.

Why did Sweeney Todd want revenge with everybody?

Sweeney Todd wanted revenge because, Benjamin Barker (Johnny Depp), a skilled barber, is falsely charged and sentenced to a life of hard labour in Australia by the corrupt Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman), who lusts after Barker's wife Lucy (Laura Michelle Kelly). Fifteen years later, under the assumed name "Sweeney Todd", Barker escapes the penal colony by sea, but is shipwrecked. He is saved by sailor Anthony Hope (Jamie Campbell Bower), who takes him aboard the ship Bountiful, headed for England. Upon arrival, Todd returns to his old flat above Nellie Lovett's (Helena Bonham Carter) pie shop on Fleet Street. There Lovett tells him that his wife took poison after being raped by Turpin, who then adopted Todd's daughter Johanna (Jayne Wisener) as his ward. Todd vows revenge and reopens his barber shop in his upstairs flat.

Sweeney todd music?

This is the music from the movie, which is based on a hit Broadway musical. 1.No Place Like London- Antony and Sweeney Todd are on their way to London. This dreary song shows Antony's hopeful attitude and the truth from the experiences of Sweeney Todd. 2.The Worst Pies in London- Mrs. Lovett sings of how nobody wants the pies that she makes. She knows why, too. They taste just dreadfully awful. This spiel would not make anybody want to have a taste. 3.Poor Thing- Mrs. Lovett sings of a man that once lived in the room upstairs and of his tragic tale of love and loss. By the end, Todd gives it away that he IS the mysterious Benjamin Barker she was singing of. 4.My Friends- This is another duet between Mrs. Lovett and Sweeney Todd. He sings to his knives that he so dearly missed while they have been buried away in the upstairs friend. She sings to him in an almost haunting longing for his companionship and love. 5. Green Finch and Linnett Bird- Johanna sings of being locked away like the green finch. She wants to know how this bird can still sing even when it is locked away in such a small cage when it should be out in the bird. The metaphorical song shows Johanna's loneliness. 6.Alms, Alms - This short song is the between the beggar woman and atony warning of troubles to come. 7. Johanna- Antony sings of the maiden locked away. Although he has only seen and heard her, he longs to be with her. 8.Pirelli's Miracle Elixir- Toby sings of the miraculous elixir that can make anybody's hair grow. Todd and Lovett sing in opposition trying to make the crowd realize that it is a scam. 9.The Contest- Pirelli and Todd sing in a shave off to see who can shave the fastest and cleanest. It seems as though Pirelli will win, but Todd pulls out a win in the end. 10. Wait- This song is just of Mrs. Lovett trying to calm everyone down. 11.Ladies in Their Sensitivities- In the song, Beadle and the Judge sing of "wooing" Johanna into being the Judge's. This sets up his need to go to the barber. 12.Pretty Woman- Todd and the Judge have a song of "small talk". Right when he least expects it, Sweeney raises his knife at the end of the song.... And then, an interuption 13. Epiphany- Sweeney Todd is angry at his failed murder. In this song, Sweeney Todd decides he will kill as much as he has to until he can get to the one throat he most longs for. 14.A Little Priest- Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett sing a dark, twisted song of what to do with all the men that Todd is going to kill. It is just the boost to buisness that Mrs. Lovett needs. 15.Johanna (Reprise) - Antony and Todd sing of the beautiful Johanna while the begger still tries to warn against the horrible evils lurking around Fleet Street. 16.God, That's Good! - Again the begger woman is lurking around. Everyone marvels over the new and improved pies of Mrs. Lovett. Toby tries to attract costumers in for a taste. 17.By the Sea- Mrs. Lovett dreams of a wonderful, romantic life married to Sweeney Todd and living in a cute little house by the sea. 18.Not While I'm Around- Toby is beginning to grow aware of Todd's mysterious doings. He swears to protect Mrs. Lovett from the deranged man. Little does he know, she is in on it as well. 19. In the Final song, Todd kills the beggar woman and then discovers that it is truly his wife. Antony hides Johanna where she is almost killed, until Todd realizes who she is. Todd also betrays Judge and finally has at him. He turns on Mrs. Lovett for lying to him about his wife, Lucy, and throws her in the oven. Toby, who they were searching for then "surprises" Todd and ends his life.

Why is Sweeny Todd rated r?

There is a LOT lof blood, but you can really tell that it's fake. There is quite the amount of gore in it, and described below are several scenes(in chronological order) that include this "gore": 1.The first killing consists of Mr. Todd being blackmailed by a man from his past. After several minutes, Sweeney loses it and begins to beat the man with a hot iron tea kettle. He beats the man down to the floor and stops to realize what has happened. Meanwhile, the mans boy servent has heard. When they cut back to Mr. Todd, the body is in a trunk-almost. One hand is out and twitching showing the man is still alive. After the mans servent(who came up to see what was happening) leaves, Sweeney opens the trunk and slowly drags his razor across the mans throat, killing him. 2.The next several killings(about 6 or 7, I'm not sure) occur in one song, "Johanna, Reprise". These killing are all very similar, save a few small details. Mr. Todd sets the men down in a chair and prepares them to get a shve, like any other barber shop would. Suddenly, he brings his razor down across the throat, and copias amonts of blood shoot out. The blood is shockingly red in a nearly black and white movie. After killing the men, Mr. Todd then presses a pedal on the side of the chair that causes the chair to tip back, a trap door to open, and the bodies to fall through a schute to Mrs. Lovett's bake house, where they are baked into pies and sold to the public. 3. The third killing is the most understated killing of the whole movie; the death of the beggar woman. The beggar has suspected something going on, and gone into Mr. Todd's shop. The judge, the man he was trying to kill in the first place, is coming, and, distracted, Mr. Todd kills her. The blood comes straight down like a waterfall, much less dramatic than the previous killing, which included blood shooting out at least 6 feet. :) 4. The judge is next. Mr. Todd sets him up as if he were any other customer, and then, after brief dialoge(watch the movie folks!), Mr. Todd proceeds to stab him repeatedly in the side of the neck. Blood shoots out all over Sweeney and the window behind him. When the judge still lives(for some unknown reason...), Mr. Todd slits his throat, causing even more blood. The judge is sent down the chute, end scene. 5.In the basment, the judge is still freaking alive, even after being stabbed in the neck, having his throat slit, and being sent down a long tube and landing on his head. He dies eventually though. Sweeney sees the beggar woman, who he realizes is his wife. He didn't know she was still alve and is horrorfied to find that he killed her. When he realizes that Mrs. Lovett lied to him about her death, he starts to sind and dance manically with her working his way toward the bake oven. He finally throws her in, and she is shown burning to death while Sweeney watches and prevents her from getting out to safety. 6.Remember the boy? The servent, well, he had begun to think of Mrs. Lovett as a mother. After watching Sweeney kill her, he comes out of his hiding place. Sweeney is kneeling on the floor cradling his wifes body, singing to her. Toby, the servent, picks up his razor, and slits Sweeney's throat. Sweeney bleeds onto his wife, and the final shot of the film is Mr. Todd cradling his wife in a pool of his own blood. End scene. So the movie isn't really that bad, but if the sight of blood makes you faint, I suggest you deal with it and watch the movie; and yes, it is a musical.

Can you judge other societies?

Answer The only people I know who have a right to judge anyone, is a Law court Judge and God. Why anyone would want to judge other societies is beyond me. I don't want anyone to judge me and I'm sure that you the person who asked this question wouldn't want to be judged. It's not a good atmosphere when people judge other people. You as a person can do as you wish. If you want to judge other societies then be my guest, but why you would want to do that is way beyond my understanding.
