In a longer set of words, Daenerys is young, abused, impressionable, and idealistic and all of that, plus her success with the dragon hatching and warfare, leads her into a Messianic complex. She honestly, earnestly, and compassionately tries to make things better in her campaigns against the slavers around Slaver's Bay but turns to the tried and true revolutionary method of eradicating the opposition when they prove they won't accept the new order or interfere with her "children" - the dragons. Every attempt she makes to improve things leads to tragedy that she personally feels responsible for. And that also leads her into believing she's the only one who can bear her burden - hence the Messianic complex.She isn't mad at the start. There's no indication she's mad at the start. Events and tragedies lead her in that direction which seems to make her different from other Targaryen nutcases.</blockquote>
