But at the same time, the narrative clearly frames Tristan as in the wrong the entire time. He gets the girl, because it's essentially a fairy tale, but the entire point is he had to grow the fuck up and outgrow his entirely self-focused, head-in-ass worldview - as characterized by wall and his fixation on Victoria-as-prize - if he ever wanted to be happy.

I can see how the book might be uncomfortable, and it wasn't the best-written of Gaiman's works, but the treatment of Tristan's actions was a little too self-aware for it to read as sexist rather than just kind of weakly written to me.
