I came upon another very interesting insight  on Chara - it could very well be that Chara brought her own body back to the village in order to be recognized and perhaps solve the monster conflict in a peaceful manner... we know from the tapes that Asriel was in on her plan, and we don't know exactly what she told him - whether she was honest or manipulated him. I'm reminded now that he told her that he "doesn't think this is a good plan anymore" when she was dying - so for someone as gentle and kind as Asriel to think it was a good plan to begin with - she must have told him it would be a peaceful plan.

And y'know what? I don't think a mere child, even as troubled as Chara, would have the brains or evil wit to device the plan to take her body to the village as a way to bait Asriel into attacking.Perhaps her time with the Dreemurs was in fact changing her for the better. It could very well be she took her body there with pure intentions in her mind - but when she got there and was immediately attacked by the humans - the beings who drove her to almost give up on life - the very villagers who made her suffer in the past - something in her triggered, and she dived back into the intense hatred she felt when she first arrived at the underworld. She lost control - and at that point she wanted to kill everyone in the village.

We know for sure Asriel realizes this after they were attacked - sharing SOULs with her - he feels she is now out of control and wants to kill everyone in the village...and this wasn't part of the plan. He refuses to. Chara tries her hardest, but his determination not to kill is stronger than hers to kill - this still makes sense with her feeling of betrayal she might have felt - at that moment, everyone was against her, even her own brother turned on her... and she died feeling that way.

Why she was confident that the SOUL merge would work...will remain a mystery, it seems, that if she even truly knew it would.

I love your view on LOVE too! Indeed it cannot be argued that Asgore saw in Chara that same hope he saw in Frisk - it hints that Chara indeed had some good in her during her time with her adoptive family... she's not the complete monster incapable of good that players make her out to be, and enjoy to blame for their actions.
