    He is: A glorified thief. Amaram was a murderer and a plunderer who hid his actions behind a facade of military tradition and religious fervor. The most glaring example is when he stole a Shardblade and Shardplate won by Kaladin, then had Kaladin's entire squad executed to cover his tracks and enslaved Kaladin to prevent him from speaking up. A legend in his own mind. He saw himself as Alethkar's great military hero, the man destined to usher in a new era. Yet, he was actually an incompetent general whose constant, petty border squabbles made him look good on paper but accomplished nothing of real value. A fake person. His public persona was a carefully constructed sham. He was unfailingly courteous and dignified to hide a fragile ego and a toxic resentment for anyone more genuinely capable than he was. As Shallan later observes, his refined demeanor is just an act put on by a "bastard". A religious zealot and narcissist. Amaram joined the Sons of Honor not out of a deep and noble spiritual conviction, but because it promised a path to glory. When he was offered a chance to become a Radiant and appear as a savior, he leapt at it. When Odium later exposed the truth and stripped away his pretense, he completely broke down and embraced a new dark master to escape his guilt. A petty, jealous loser. He could have built a reputation by being a genuinely good person, but he was always resentful of others' greater feats, like Kaladin's skill or Dalinar's vision. His obsession with glory meant that when his reputation was finally tarnished, he chose to become the "King of Hell" rather than accept a lesser, more decent position. His last moments were spent wallowing in his own power and vanity before getting taken out by a simple shot from a skilled archer. Why I hate him: Betrayal and deceit: Amaram's most hated action is his betrayal of the main character, Kaladin. After Kaladin legitimately earned a Shardblade, Amaram murdered his squad to steal it and claim the prize for himself, thereby violating a core tenet of his society. Hypocrisy: A primary criticism is that Amaram is outwardly honorable and respectable but inwardly corrupt and power-hungry. His actions demonstrate a lack of honor, especially his mistreatment of his own soldiers. Tragic cowardice: While his actions were self-serving, some viewed his embrace of Odium's power as a final, cowardly act. Rather than face his moral ruin, he embraced raw, uncontrolled power that ultimately destroyed him. Lack of remorse: Amaram openly admitted to Dalinar that he was not remorseful for his betrayal, a stance that angered Dalinar and cemented his reputation for cruelty. His story arc: It was kind of disappointing...

    Here's what I think of M***h he is: A guy who couldn't handle his emotions, so he let a god take them away instead of going to therapy. He's basically the high-school friend who decides your choices are dumb and tries to talk you into making bad ones, only with a much higher body count. A former soldier who is really, really mad about having to be a soldier, and who holds grudges for a long, long time. A "rebel" who eventually gives up on his principles and just becomes an obedient minion to a new, evil boss. He's the ultimate contrarian, so committed to doing the opposite of his friend that he joined the enemy army just to prove a point. He's a guy who wanted a promotion at work but was passed over for a more qualified colleague. He eventually got his way, but only after siding with the competition and hurting the colleague who helped him. The 5 Main Reasons I Hate M***h: He betrayed Kaladin and Bridge Four: Moash betrayed Kaladin multiple times, leading to Kaladin's deep personal pain and ultimately the deaths of several close friends, including Teft, as he pushed Kaladin to the breaking point. He murdered Elhokar and Teft: Moash was responsible for the deaths of Elhokar and Teft, two characters that many readers cared about. He murdered them in cold blood to further his own goals, actions that many consider irredeemable. He inflicted psychological torture on Kaladin: Moash actively sought to break Kaladin by psychologically torturing him, pushing him to suicide, and trying to force him to give his pain to Odium. He does not seem to care that he is making Kaladin suffer in this way, even when it is a direct result of their past friendship. He joined Odium and renounced his conscience: Moash chose to join Odium, a being of pure hatred, and have his pain and guilt removed. This action is seen as a conscious choice to become evil and to no longer feel any remorse for his actions, even as he continues to hurt people. He refuses to take responsibility for his actions: Moash continually blames others for his own choices and refuses to take responsibility for his actions, which is a major reason many readers dislike him. He would rather ask Odium to remove his pain than to face it himself, and he seeks to inflict the same pain on others.

    I am one of the bunnies (albeit a Lightwoven one). I use my ears as a whip, steal the Sandwich, and shoot Nerf bullets that go straight past your corneas into your pupils-into your eyes, where your retina is destroyed. You are now blind in both eyes.

    Sur une échelle de 1 à 10, comment évalueriez-vous votre probabilité de prononcer des jurons français au hasard si je possédais votre père et vous préparais un biscuit piquant?
