@Ilovemanhwaslikethat "okay" is an exaggeration, no one really LIKES that Maxi is so timid. However, there is a difference between your trauma harming mostly yourself, and your trauma harming other people. Its the same concept behind it not being okay for a bully victim to become a bully. Even if we can see the path of progression, youre still choosing to put harm out there, and thats objectively going to cause a larger impact that outweighs your intent. If Rosetta were just bitter and jaded, I dont think people would care, because no one cares now. What people dislike her for is how she treats her sister, that her being jaded is used to tear her sister down. Output vs input: her merely hating the world is a step and a jump from trying to influence her sisters view of it and preemptively break her heart.
Again, some people just dont like characters who are mean to those undeserving of it, and you dont get to pretend theyre wrong for that. It only becomes an issue when/if they start painting her as the "true villain" over the Duke.
@BlueBay I suppose I am just as blunt and unemotional as Rosetta that I get how she feels. Rosetta loves Maxi. She is open about how she feels about Maxi to Maxi. She isn't being mean or tearing her down. She is reminding her that HER husband, at least, loves her and is devoted to her so there was no reason why she came back. Listen to the intent behind her words not the actual words.
I will add a spoiler so you know that Rosetta means well
Spoiler!
When Riftan comes to get Maxi, it's Rosetta who let's him in the gate after her father refuses. She has been for Maxi's happiness ever since Maxi got married and finally left with her husband.
Rosetta is blunt and unemotional as she tries to make Maxi think rather than just do what she is told and spiral. It's Rosetta who is reminding Maxi that she got married to a powerful man and there was no reason why she accepted returning with her father. Maxi underestimates Riftan and keeps treating him with gloves when she should be well aware, than anyone else, that Riftan would move mountains for her.
There is nothing wrong in what Rosetta said. She is simply stating facts and expressing disappointment in Maxi's lack of trust in Riftan and the Princess. WHY WOULD RIFTAN DIVORCE HIS WIFE JUST BECAUSE OF A MISCARRIAGE!? If she trusted Riftan or even loved him with all the confidence she says she has, she should have stayed with Agnes and waited to hear his decision regarding their marriage. She shouldn't have up and left with the Duke whom she knows will treat her worse than she can not imagine Riftan doing to her.Rosetta isn't a bully. Mean, maybe. Blunt, of course. But she's not a bully. She has NEVER bullied Maxi.
