I think he has immoral aspects of his character which I don't personally like, but overall I think he is interesting andd portrays a very realistic representation of a real man.

To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!

Yes. It is quite obvious that she played with his mind, and to be fair, with the minds of everyone around her. But I doubt that he was just your average guy. And I doubt it had everything to do with her. Now, I'm not trying to blame the victim here. It is never the victim's fault. But when someone with sociopathic tendencies and such a clear Narcissistic Personality Disorder picks someone to drain them, they do because of certain qualities of their complements. Not just because. And most of the times, they are not as blind to what's going on as they seem to be. I find it hard to believe that during all those years he really NEVER saw anything that made him think she was not the sweet she claimed to be. Granted, he was under great manipulation. But there's always *something*.Himmelslicht wrote: ↑15 Dec 2014, 09:20That makes me think until what point does one have control over what one does.

It was painful to see such a self involved male character be worked to the nth degree by his female lead. I honestly do think he had an original thought of his own. But the mastery of Amy was that she was so good at manipulation everything he did, he thought he had control over, when in fact it was always her.
Until what point do you know that you developed the habit of being tidy for yourself or because you've been pressured to do it because of your significant other?
Of course these are tiny bits of the problem in general, but in the hands of a really smart and devious person, one could become a toy.
She played him like a fool since the beginning. She wanted a human pet because she has always been Amazing Amy. And she got one, even when he started to slip away, all she had to do was to find the right leash to chain him to her. It's weird as hell but it worked.
I agree with you on the pet part though. She was treating him more as a lost property than a lost love. It was clear that he was nothing but a breathing object for her.
