(Anonymous) 2014-04-22 12:58 am (UTC)(link)Secondly, it seems to me that fandom strives to make all characters conform to some abstract standard of perfection (either by re-writing them itself or by trying to persuade writers to change them in canon)* but, in a story, each character is part of an ensemble, and it's the interactions between characters that provide the reader/viewer with vicarious experience. It's not the writer's job to make all characters 'good', it's the reader/viewer's job to examine the evidence and form their own conclusions.
*It does the same with plots.
Thirdly, it's my conclusion that Tyrion isn't a 'bad person', he's just a 'person' who sometimes does bad things -- losing it, for example, when he's betrayed by his beloved brother, the woman he genuinely loves (admittedly as an avatar of his wife, whom he genuinely loved) and his father, in quick succession -- but who can also be humane and kind.
