[QUOTE="Henry, post: 358843, member: 158"] In regards to all the above alignment perspectives: Remember to separate LAWFUL behavior from GOOD behavior, and likewise separate CHAOTIC from EVIL. In Buffy t.v.s.'s case, for example, it is GOOD that she shows compassion and mercy. It is not so clear cut when she leaves things to the authorities. In fact, many times she does NOT leave things to the authorities, and in fact handles them herself. In the instance where she thought she had killed someone, she wanted to turn herself in because she wrong she had done wrong, not because of notions of crime and punishment. Someone who has broken and entered as much as she has, caused assault and battery as much as she has, and flagrantly violated school authority in the past is NOT the definition of lawful. She exhibits lawful tendencies, but can also do without that law in the interests of good. Although it's amazing that some characters (e.g. Conan, Wolverine, Judge Dredd, Superman) consistently come up as the same alignment by most posters. Is this because of strong characterization, or because of lousy stereotyping on the pat of some writers? [/QUOTE]
