Good people are good people, regardless of their place in the systems they're placed in? I guess? Is what I would say? He doesn't stop being a clever, intelligent, kind man simply because he happens to be an incredibly wealthy aristocract. I mean, yes, death to the aristocracy, but that doesn't mean that every individual aristocrat is guilty.

SA - also, if you like Peter Wimsey, you should check out the Campion stories / TV series - similar aristocratic detective thing, although Campion is a little more avuncular and... modest in that he tends to stay in the background as part of his investigative strategy, and also Campion has pretty much renounced / been renounced by his aristocratic family, and Campion is an assumed name. It's pretty good. Peter Davison plays Campion.

Some are even amazingly progressive. Look at Lord Avebury.

And he was, according to the books, an enlightened landlord - and then there's Miss Climpson and the 'cattery', his deliberate creation of jobs and opportunities for unmarried women - he says himself that come the revolution that might be enough to save him from the guillotine and advance him to street-cleaning or something similar.

And he's just decent, clever, self-deprecating and all-round desirable. His status and situation are not essential to that...

Well, his sister would agree with you on the left-wing political views! And also on the loving him anyway (though probably in a different way.)

As a left-winger who loves Scrooge McDuck, I feel your pain.

The actor in the picture is Edward Petherbridge. He played Lord Peter in TV adaptations of three of the books (Strong Poison, Have His Carcase and Gaudy Night) with Harriet Walter as Harriet Vane.

I'm on disability and my former ABSOLUTE FAVORITE celebrity was a libertarian. I was so relieved to get over that crush.

I would like to say that you are right, OP, and that you are only playing at being a left-winger. Secretly you love Wimsey and Bunter's relationship.
What the hell. It's fiction. Save the justice for RL.

An individual is certainly influenced by his or her situation, but it still doesn't make them "posterboy/girl for X group who has ALL behaviours, skills and stereotypes associated with said group".
Shocking, I know.
