Polly's grieving over the death of Freddie Thorne is a deeply humanizing moment showing Polly's vulnerability and love in the show Peaky Blinders. Despite the hardened exterior she often showcases, Polly's heart-rending sorrow for Freddie-who was not only her son-in-law but a very close ally of the family- highlights just how deep her emotional connections are. These emotions speak of her protective nature toward the family and also highlight the personal sacrifices and emotional toll that come with the Shelby family's dangerous lifestyle.
