I just brought up Adalind because I have read an argument, which has been presented on more than several occasions, somewhat exonerating Adalind and calling her a pawn for doing what she was told.I didn’t think you were pointing, and only meant that while Renard isn’t responsible for Adalind’s actions, he is responsible for the fallout that occurred because of his own intent/ambitions. But the writers and most debates on the subject ignore Renard’s actions and Nick’s inactions and only focus on the conniving, evil women.
I can't hold Adalind over Juliette/Eve or Eve/Juliette over Adalind and argue which one's actions were worse. They were both despicable. I'm not letting Renard off the hook here, he's a scumbag.
However, there is something so lowlife about women doing a man's dirty work when they have no actionable reason (such as revenge) to be there in the first place.
And the end result is that once Nick & Renard struck their deal, the male characters returned to life as usual while the female characters are homeless, penniless, and reliant on forgiveness and favor.
