Millie Bobby Brown gave an expounding depth to what ‘El’ is feeling in the episodes of Stranger Things 4. She says that Eleven is just trying to hold the line of her shattered emotions. She has already lost her father figure Hopper and leaving Hawkins was even a bigger challenge. Meanwhile, she has no powers, which used to be the sole meaning of her existence. And she doesn’t want to share her insecurities with her boyfriend Mike, as the distance is making things more vulnerable.

Eleven’s first experience of normal school life is overwhelmed by teasing and alienation. In Stranger Things season 4 when she creates a project on his superhero Hopper she is mocked by her classmates. Which was a new thing for Eleven because she is different from others. However, she doesn’t want Mike to know that she is having a terrible time at school. And that she wants to go back to her friends, back to Hawkins.

Eventually, she gets into a fight with Mike that nobody would understand her pain right now. Because everyone considers her a monster without her powers, not a superhero. Therefore, she is left alone to deal with her problems in season 4 like a normal teenage girl.
