Talk:To Plea or Not to Plea/@comment-25755332-20150226181956

Jarialover1993: I agree, A is more horrible than Ali ever was (as far as we know) and she doesn't deserve this. My focus was more on the fact that we aren't going to feel sorry for A and that the statement most likely is another lie from the writers. My hypothesis is that we ultimately aren't going to feel sorry for A. Because if we as an audience are going to feel sorry for A, the person A is targeting need to be an even worse person than A. It's the only way to justify the actions and somehow explain away A's actions as justice.

Think about it, what could possible trigger a person to do the things A has done and have an "excuse" or a justified reason for killing several people, blackmailing, and commiting so many attempted murders that everyone has lost count and still have the audience support? There has to be a good motive if the audience are going to feel sorry for A, if the audience sees A's motive as justice and the motive reasonable enough to justify A's attempted murders etc. If A is going to be seen as a person who took justice in her/his own hands rightfully and to be seen as a person in full possession of all his/her senses, A can't be the worst person In Rosewood. It's a contradiction,  A can't be seen as the worst person and at the same time have everyone feeling sorry for A. The audience need to see A as the victim not the committer, to feel sorry for him/her. The audience need someone else to blame, a scapegoat. Someone that makes A's actions justified and not seen as the behaviour of a serial killer-psychopath-person. If there isn't someone more worse than A, A is going to come across as a psychopath, a crazy person or as mental unstable person who targeted someone who didn't deserve all this torture and pain, and no one will feel sorry for A.
