It takes a lot of patience and time on the part of their parents to teach them to care for anyone besides themselves. If we don't grow out of that view we can become dangerous adults. For the record, I was the 7th of 8 kids, and had to take care of 5 kids. To expect a small child to do any selfless thing that will cost them something is unrealistic.Quote:Before Renard, Adeline and Kelly became her real family, not just her caretakers, she accepted being passed from one one group to another. Once she got a loving family she was willing to kill to protect dad, mom and little brother. The lieutenant is proof she was only willing to accept and protect her true family, no longer to passively move from one to another person. Killing Conrad proved that.Again this is an example of describing motivation on what one would think would be the expected response, and not considering the Diana responses we have seen. Take the lieutenant as an example of her protecting the family. Yet we where only shown Diana response as being no more then self interest. In fact you can not show one case where she came to the aid of anyone that was not in her own self interest.
Based on what we have seen what Diana can do. The following examples shows she has no concern for others.
1. escaping from the Royals. Each kill may have helped Adalind, but more over it helped facilitate Diana's escape.
2. If Diana has the protect the family mindset. Why did she not make any effort to not be taken from her mother or father. Instead she went without opposition with a stranger.
3. The next time we see Diana she does noting to help Kelly or to be taken by the Royals.
4. We see the results of Diana being removed from tHW, yet no signs of her having any opposition to their actions.
5. Even when she does re-connect with her parents, her actions are cliche. The show even provided expose showing the difference between a writers description of a relationship and what actual happens in a relationship. Even the Rachel and Conrad killings are explained with cliche reasoning.
Like many other comments people keep making their explanation based on what you would expect a child to do Forget from even before Diana was born, there was nothing about how she reacted to any situation that showed her as a child. At a day old she figured out how to manipulate adults to get them to build a fire so she could get warm. That alone shows she was never a child.
