1. The drugs Alice gave him were explicitly meant as a cure for him.From what I remember Klaus had every intention of taking the drugs that Alice gave him thinking it would cure him, he had no clue about what his father intended and just showed the drug to his dad to get approval; it was only after that he was put up to getting more, and his father told him it would cure him, he had no idea his father wasn't gonna let him take it or that he planned to trade it for something else.
He was trading one cure for another cure. before even trying the first cure.
2. So what if he did not know ahead of the first dose being given.
He knew after receiving the first dose from alice.
At that point, his dad asked him to lie to alice and betray her. and he knowingly and willingly chose to betray alice.
3. You are glossing over the EVERYTHING that happened AFTER this first betrayal. This is important.
you are trying to argue that this was a moment of weakness. but a moment of weakness is when you do something and then stop. Not when you do something, and then continue, and do ever more extreme things.
at that point it is not a moment of weakness but an entire behavioral pattern. One that started when he was 14 and was ongoing still years later when he was a legal adult. He never tried to make things right for alice.
A. 14 years old is a teenager, not a child. And that is his STARTING POINT. this is what you are not getting. Klaus is not 14 when you throw down with him. He is an adult. The shit started when he was 14.His story is of a broken child used in a game of his fathers ambition who tries to break out and be a man in his own right
he didn't grow up and go "wow I was a shit when I was a kid, I am so sorry. can I make it up to you?"
No, instead as an adult he is even worse than he was back as a 14 year old teenager.
B. Every criminal or villain has a sad story. does not make them good people just because you understand how it happened.
C. Not a broken child, a sickly teen with great friends. who decided he cares more about his neglectful dad rather than his wonderful friends.
