Re: Arya is legitimately the most evil... Cannoli Send a noteboard - 19/03/2010 10:50:56 PM
I am not defending Cersei when I say that she is less evil than Arya and Theon. Whether or not you call it POV trap, she has some justification for her actions. She, like Cat Stark, does everything she does for her children. However, unlike Cat Stark, she has ambition far above what would be accepted for a woman in this world and a desire to promote some convuluted form of gender equality by getting herself power. Of course, her methods are definitely evil, but she views this as only doing what she has to do to protect her children and her house. However, as of AFFC when we finally get her point of view, I am of the opinion that she is really mentally ill at this point, so she is not responsible for her actions and cannot be classed as evil.

Theon is a bad dude.

Jaime isn't.

If you need explanation, I posted it on the quickpoll a while ago.......


That out to be good, considering you are going to explain why a treacherous oath-breaking murderer of old men, weaklings and children is not a bad dude.

Do you think a child can be evil? *NM* - 18/03/2010 09:18:06 PM 410 Views
We sometimes hear about kids doing horrible things - 18/03/2010 09:41:30 PM 832 Views
Is that because they may not understand the consequences of their actions? - 18/03/2010 09:45:33 PM 917 Views
Most likely, yes. Plus their reasons for doing bad things lack deeper inferior motives. - 18/03/2010 10:09:25 PM 950 Views
