The Queue: Is Jaina evil?

Posted by wengzhujing on January 16th, 2014

Do you think Jaina has already crossed into villain status, and would that answer change based on faction? I mostly think no, she's not there yet, but that Blood Elves are going to look at her as the human that broke the last link the old Elf kingdom had with the human kingdoms (which conveniently, would ignore the sins of their former prince).the cheapest wow gold

I don't think Jaina is a villain at all. And I certainly hope she isn't treated as one in the story in the future. She's someone who, against everyone else's opinion, campaigned for peace for a very long time. She felt so strongly that peace was possible that she helped the Horde kill her own father. Think about that: she has her own family's blood on her hands because she thought it would help secure peace between the Horde and the Alliance. That peace never came to pass. Over and over again since then, she has been betrayed by the people she's tried to help.

Theramore, a city under her protection, full of people she considered friends, was annihilated by the people she tried to forge peace with.

Jaina isn't evil, she just doesn't have any confidence left in the Horde. She's stopped trusting people that she shouldn't have trusted all along. She's been hurt and betrayed. And depending on how you want to interpret the events in her novel, Thrall, the guy who was supposedly working with her on this peace thing all along, went out of his way to belittle her and dismiss the trauma she's gone through for him and his people.
