"Her teeth were bared like a beast of prey. Her eyes were glittering, black as coal. She moved with the lightning speed of a tarantula and seemed totally focused on her prey as she swung the club again, striking Martin in the ribs".
Martin Vangers fatal torture on Mikael is interrupted at last second by Lisbeth storming in with a golf club and beating him until he's injured enough that she can rescue Mikael from suffocating.
Lisbeth has long lived in fear of men who molest, abuse and murder women. From her perspective, there is no act more cruel and unforgiving. She has spent years hiding from and avoiding men, developing protective habits and always assuming the worst. She put herself in this prison of isolation, so that no man could touch her. Afraid of deception, Lisbeth has found her strength in knowledge and truth. Taking this path has helped her elaborate imagination find a narrow, yet solid structure, that eliminates fear of the unknown and helps channel all her energy into what she decides upon.
And when she bursts into the torture chamber, she is channeling the strength she gathered from years of living in fear, and her motivation is giving her a sharper aim, allowing nothing to escape her vengeful attention in the moment of truth.
