friedrich von rothbart is greed incarnate disguised as a righteous man. he is greediest for two things, and his expressed reasoning for wanting these things is far from the truth: the crown, and lady odette de cygne. he believes odette is the key to his rightful crown.
an excerpt from rothbart’s journals:
i write this as a man wronged. i write this as a victim of a greater power when i should be its master. god has failed me, and i resort to other means of taking what is rightfully mine. does she not know how she tempts me? the eve to my adam — how i long to break her skin with my teeth, my forbidden fruit, my granatapfel. she denies us twice, denies my odile the mother she needs — i, a father not fit to raise an unruly girl all on his own! she does this with glee, as much as i wish this to be a farce. she smiles when i turn my back in sorrow, tortures me to her satisfaction. my final act of affection will not go unnoticed, will not be denied. she will beg for my hand in marriage, plead to be the idol gothel odile deserves, as no girl should grow up without her mother!
