Honestly probably another win for Lieutenant is that it might be the only book in which Hornblower actually has to face a proper moral quandary on par with his character
#and then he promptly commits mutiny! go off queen!#hornblower could be such a yummy character in a story that had actual dilemmas going on in it. regrettably there are none#i think this could easily lead to him being deeply unlikeable and unsympathetic but also his worst behavior is my favorite so like#he just needs to be more fun like c'mon you can do better than a little sad liberal crisis of conscience#that man for sure is capable of more unhinged things than that and he for sure has opportunities to show them#whether it's being a pawn and a purveyor of empire or going rogue#in a more productive vein: if anyone has interesting recs for stuff more along these lines i would gladly read them#perhaps i ought to give black sails yet another try. i just find it visually off-putting :(#perce rambles#percy yells at cecil scott#this problem irks me much less with the aubreyad but i think that's because patrick o'brian was not setting out to Do That#cs forester doesn't have the range to address the weird-ass character he created and hornblower is suffering for it like a caged animal
