es, he killed Isabella, yes we should hate him for it
See, I think it’s perfectly fine to not hate Oswald for this. He’s been fleshed out to such a degree that even when I don’t like his actions–murdering someone–I get why he’s doing it. That’s how you create complex and nuanced characters. Of course he was going to murder Isabella; Fish’s rejection of him, his mother’s death, his father’s death….the only thing he had left was Edward. He’s a selfish man, a fact he stumbled into in the finale. He was clinging to the last person who cared about him because he’s lost *so much.* Murdering Isabella to keep Ed by his side makes absolute sense from a character standpoint. And not to be flippant but Isabella was about as fleshed out as a rock; kinky librarian is really all she amounted to.
