He is my favorite character, an open book with no complexities, genuinely good and if he does bad things they are just for good intents. He just wants to be loved, to find someone, just like Adam found Eve. A mind of a poet, heart of a child. Nobody feels things like he does. No human dares to see the world how he sees it. Caliban is poetry incarnate. I expected worse from Frankenstein's monster. He is good, it is the world that is unfair to him. Rejected, despised, unappreciated, used, ridiculed. Oh how hard it must be for you John. Dorian is beautiful outside and ugly inside, but you are the contrary. He is mysterious but you aren't. Such a paragon of every underdog who deserves better.
I love the story of John Claire... It represents in some kind the one's that are different, not necessarily in appearance, but in thinking, and how they struggle to be within the "normals", how they struggle for an acceptance that never comes. Yes, this is a bit exaggerated, but int some level this is it. John Claire is and ode to the outnumbered creatures
We all understand what you mean. Deeply. Penny Dreadful is a wonderful show and Mr. Claire is one of the most important characters. His history is beautiful, and sad and essencial...
