    I seriously hate this in books

    Character 1: This really bad thing happened, I feel bad/sad/mad or whatever

    Character 2: Well you could/should do this, that, or the other

    Character 1: Would you have done that in that situation?

    Character 2: Well, no

    Like, WHAT. Yall are FRIENDS. Why is character 2 suddenly acting like they are so honorable and character 1 is sullied and able to do bad stuff?!?!

    The context for this, I was reading Song of Achilles, I´ll describe the exact scene here

    Spoiler

    Patroclus is the main character and best friend of Achilles. Patroclus is a prince who was exiled because he killed someone in kind of self-defense, but didn't try to defend himself when people got mad. Achilles is the prince of the kingdom he was sent to.

    After they got to know each other really well and were best friends who could pretty much read each other's minds and always spent time together, Patroclus told Achilles this story.

    Achilles said ¨You could have lied, said it was in self-defense, or just acted like you had nothing to do with it.¨

    Patroclus then asked if Achilles would have lied, and Achilles gave the infuriating response that he would not have.

      Song of Achilles is really good, but I know what you're talking about.

      On the other hand, it's an adaptation of Homer, who set the original cliche for literally everything as one of the first epics/fiction that was well-known in the world.

      On the third hand, Achilles is just kinda presenting an option.
