Angela Is Most Self-Aware Host

Published December 1, 2016 · Updated July 6, 2022

Because Angela worked as a greeter host, she is a host who knows she’s a host. She even stated as much to William when she said “If you can’t tell, does it matter?” All of the hosts in the park live in this little bubble where Westworld is their only world, but because she’s been outside of it at the entrance, Angela knows it’s a theme park and she knows why the guests are there and all that goes into running the park as a park.

As a first generation host, she is having the same memory resurgence as Maeve (who is seeing her daughter) and Dolores (seeing her time with William) but Angela is seeing her time as a greeter, seeing herself as a greeter and also seeing and understanding the big picture of what, exactly, Westworld is. She knows that there are guests who come to kill and rape and play the black hat. She has this intense, meta level of insight into everything.

She’s also incredibly clever — she managed to figure out a loophole around the “Hosts can’t kill guests” rule with the MiB (although he ultimately got out of that situation). I’d love to see her bulk apperception level.
