I really hope that was deliberate on the author's part, and he didn't actually think this makes her look like a Strong Independent Woman™. I really hope this was part of the author's plan, and the rest of the plan involves Hermione having a character arc that redeems this scene.NoriMorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13047240016768930469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047698153058029905.post-33528035569868229772023-09-05T16:35:35.746-04:002023-09-05T16:35:35.746-04:00For McGonagall, I think that's partly intentio...For McGonagall, I think that's partly intentional. She is the archetypal good witch, representing the best of magical society that nevertheless is the unthinking foil to HJPEV's rationalism.<br /><br />In HPMOR, all the characters except HJPEV and Voldemort were somewhat one dimensional. It was a story about those two, everyone else was just along for the ride. whenhaveieverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13101040269971276259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047698153058029905.post-19932627395738852542022-11-30T12:31:46.859-05:002022-11-30T12:31:46.859-05:00Be positive to examine the home guidelines, as the...Be positive to examine the home guidelines, as these terms <a href="https://petrifypoint.com/" rel="nofollow">카지노사이트</a> are unofficial and the choices available at a table might not match the label.

JKR wasn’t great to her female characters either, but they all felt like real people- whereas McGonigal and Hermione generally don’t seem to quite get there in these stories (with the exception of the first scene in Diagon Alley in HPMOR). <br /><br />I will say on the other hand that Harry’s response in this scene is great- he avoids the mistake that many men make in talking to women and actually wonders if Hermione could be right, rather than just trying to prove her wrong. It’s things like that that make their friendship feel real.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10948396980170925299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047698153058029905.post-24269351868536291732018-10-14T07:14:07.702-04:002018-10-14T07:14:07.702-04:00hm, well this makes it seem very much like the opp...hm, well this makes it seem very much like the opposition of draco is real. One of the reasons I suspected otherwise was that it just seemed implausible for Draco to be on the opposing side.

So her anger could be appropriate given her level of knowledge and assumptions, though she does reject the possibility that there could be a legitimate reason to lie to her, and it could thus not be explained why. She represents the ideal, assuming complete honesty is the best solution, which can be true in many scenariosBCarlislehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555746171609501745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047698153058029905.post-82944787515319314512017-09-22T22:32:30.032-04:002017-09-22T22:32:30.032-04:00I actually find Hermione to be my least favourite ...I actually find Hermione to be my least favourite character in both HPMoR and SigDig because of this.<br /><br />More specifically, it feels like Hermione is supposed to be the Heart/Conscience/Minder, who makes sure that Harry doesn't go off into the deep end (with Voldemort being all the way in already).<br /><br />However then you get scenes like these, where so far as I can tell the only real mistake Harry is making is that he isn't being very nice or mindful of the feelings of others. Yes, those are definitely bad personality traits, but...<br /><br />If your closest ally has the unfortunate flaw that they are incapable of keeping a secret (or at the very least are very likely to tip people off by virtue of being a bad liar) keeping crucial information hidden from them is the RIGHT thing to do, if your objective is actually high enough a priority.<br /><br />Harry's plan for saving the world requires there to be secrets and hidden actions which as few people as possible should know about. This scene feels like an Aesop about how you shouldn't keep secrets from those close to you, but given the circumstances sparing Hermione's feelings could have been significantly worse than making her feel like Harry doesn't trust her to keep a secret.<br /><br />It's an Aesop, but either Hermione is SUPPOSED to be a flawed conscience or I'm just heavily in disagreement with both Eliezer and Alexander about what's important. Either Hermione is supposed to be a grating character or I just don't agree with the story.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263262285318465454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047698153058029905.post-31952506489165891332016-11-16T18:53:34.602-05:002016-11-16T18:53:34.602-05:00Well she says she isn't fragile but her emotio...Well she says she isn't fragile but her emotional reaction to being told she sucks at lying and then telling him she refuses to follow the plan without any coherent argument makes Harry seem more and more correct in his assessment RMcD94https://www.blogger.com/profile/16919280566803775512noreply@blogger.com
