Beatrice never really did any of those terrible things. She's been saying all along: it's fantasy!
That's the key, and that's the thing that makes Beatrice such a compelling character. She behaves in such a heartless fashion, but then you realize "Wait, if Battler is right, then she's NOT the culprit. So why is she taking the blame? Why is she making herself look so horrible?"
