I have no love for Jonas but part of me wonders how much of his character is a by product of his upbringing vs his nature. A selfish mother who basically offered up her loyal maid to a duke to escape her birdcage. A supposed father who’s probably not all that interested in him as as a supposed child of his or even as a person in his household other than that his true love of a second wife loves her mistress’ child dearly. This all possibly leading to a highly permissive parenting style where step-mother is willing to give him anything and everything over her actual blood related son and a supposed father who only cares about what can make his second wife happy. I’d say no wonder he became like that, being told he’s grander than what he actually is and having everything done for him because of said status. Its still up to him to be a decent human being though at the end of the day, but I can’t totally say the previous generation weren’t responsible in some way as well.
