To define some terms, the Watsonian approach to interpretation is to interpret things from an in-universe perspective--why would the characters do X? The Doylist approach is to look at the writer--why would they write the characters doing X?
If a story is well-written, I can look at things from a Watsonian perspective. But when the writer botches up so horribly that I can't go along with what they've written, I can't approach it in any way other than Doylist. My suspension of disbelief is too thoroughly shattered not to notice the guiding puppet strings of the writer, wrapped around his characters' necks and slowly strangling them.
I guess it's great that you can maintain enough of a Watsonian perspective to say "A/B don't work, but B and C love each other!" But the closest I can come is "B/C would have had potential if this hack writer hadn't gone for A/B!"

(Anonymous) 2015-01-10 12:51 am (UTC)(link)Within the context of the story, Character A is exactly the type of character that B *should* love, the type of person that B is *supposed* to be in love with according to B's culture. And that's why I can see why they're together in the story. At the same time, it explains why B treats A so poorly -- B is only with A out of a sense of duty, or wanting to follow tradition and conform (which IS an big part of B's characterization). But B doesn't really love A (according in my explanation and as a result of, IMO, the author's poor writing of their relationship).
But C stirs B's passions and emotions and intellect. And B displays far more concern for C than he ever does for A. So thus my alternative explanation is born.
