[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 181548, member: 102"] What I love is the outright hypocrisy by those who condemn Jock as being such a bad, unethical, immoral man and at the same time praise and love Miss Ellie! If someone is going to praise and love Miss Ellie, despite her terribly destructive favoritism, and her emotional extortion of Jock, then at least be consistent. If Miss Ellie is a woman you think is great, then by extension her ideal man, the man she married and stayed married to for over 40 years, must have been a very good man too. A virtuous, rational woman of self-esteem doesn't give her love, her undying love, to a scoundrel. To those who love to demonize Jock: Go ahead if that's what floats your boat but be honest enough to admit this: [B]If you really think Jock is such a bad man, then you[/B] [B]must also be thinking: What horrible mess of a woman would love, marry, have and raise children with, and stay married to such an awful man? [/B] It is because I see both Miss Ellie and Jock as neither heroes nor villains, but as they are - basically good people with some flaws, that I have no contradictions in how I think of them.
