facing the same problem with armand that I've faced with every male character I've liked (small list) which is people seem to want to make him. somehow. lesser. not horrifically abusive or claudia's murderer. not ruthless, controlling, and desirous of trapping love like a firefly in a jar so he can assess its glow and satiate his hunger. not deeply intimate w violence.....which is just so baffling......you enjoy a character for not despite the atrocities do you not. you don't HAVE to enjoy them you consciously pick them as a favorite for the things they've done or the themes they carry. and you can do so at your discretion......doesn't it sap fun to move critical analysis to a different quadrant. you might as well make up a good guy
