But if they don’t humanize them, how would we understand the cause and effect of child abuse? I do get what you’re saying though.
No one is born evil....... unless you are the reincarnation of an evil person with all their memories intact
And his childhood friend was most likely the only person that treated him with genuine care so that explains where the obsession comes from
True! But it’s annoying to me because now I feel bad for him and make excuses for his behavior now all I see is a little baby who lost his mother and got treated terribly but I get why is necessarily to show is trauma for us to see the effect abuse caused him and where is obsession come from
The thing about a good back story is that you understand how they got to their current selves and what influenced what behavior in the current day
I understand but I ain't gonna excuse or forgive his actions
I believe that several things can be true at once. while it's obvious that his upbringing molded the person he is today, adult Jacke is the only one responsible for adult Jacke's actions. But, we can't be mad if adult Dr. Dan chooses to forgive him.
i don't like when authors humanized abusive seme too but are we going to act like this is not realistic ?? like yeah people with fucked up childhood turn into fuckep up adult
