As far as the topic is concerned, "evil" is very obviously a subjective definition for us. But in the DV, I think Mab is very much NOT in the "evil" part of the supernatural spectrum.

Pretty much sums that one up. :)

Oh ive read the history, hence the comment.
but I'm not sure I agree as to the judgment of history on the whole good/ evil thing.
;D

"Oh Hollorr, I am so not cool. DF is my first fandom obsession in many moons... (I have seen Batman and enjoy Green Arrow, but am a strictly a viewer - no deep meanings.)
It would be easier for me to consider a Mab a hero for sacrificing her life and saving mankind, if saving mankind mattered to her. I think if she needed the dead bodies of every man, woman and child on Earth in order to fulfill her purpose, she wouldn't blink an eye. I don't think her nature includes any protective impulses for mortals, so saving them might be a by-product of her possible life-sacrifice, but isn't the goal."
hmmm for some reason I have a obsession with aton of Videogame/anime and manga...I haven't really gotten into deep with spiderman/superman/Batman/green arrow and few others. It's only been lately I have gotten into anime/manga full blast..Videogame story on the other hand I have allways loved the story of Rogue heros and well people acting outside of the law to bring justice.....if you think thats cool...Great.
Anyway back to the subject at hand, Mab...
I have nothing to defend in what you said...if Mab wanted you dead or you were usefull dead...you are gonna die....lol (since this is fiction and not real life I shall defend MAB!)
But Mab does have the world in mind to protect so as long as you are needed..your good.
anyway I still Vote Mab/Molly/Harry love ship....lol
I think Ms.duck theory that mab is gonna die soon...might be true but I think I'll need to see the next book before I believe in that...Need to see how molly and mab act.

Defend away. ;) I see Mab's purpose and its' importance - honest. She's intriguing in a scary way. But, I just can't romanticize her into a misunderstood heroine.

I agree that Mab may not be with "us" much longer, but I have very little to base it on.

Perhaps the "is Mab evil" discussion could be moved to a new thread?
