Why Can't Eb Just Be Honest With Harry?

(1/5) > >>

Mira:


Okay, I will go along with the idea that Eb cannot tell Harry everything about being a star born.  However why can't he level with him over his extreme hate and prejudice towards vampires?  He alluded that they did something truly horrible to him and or his family, but he needs to say just what it was.  As it stands now, they could have murdered his wife, mother, father, and God knows who else, or he is basing it all on seeing them do something nasty in the woodshed.  Point is, if he told Harry what it was, Harry would have a clearer understanding of where Eb is coming from..  It would save a lot of time between the two fencing over it, and create a base for possible reconciliation with the idea that he has a vampire for a grandson.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Because maybe he already has a vampire in the family, Mavra is about the right age to be Ebs mother/grandmother if you take her to be a contemporary of Shakespeare given by her normal dress.

Eb never directly interacted with her when Harry’s hand got flambeed, he was the get away driver, his role to lock down her magic. Mavra is strong enough a magic user to have been a wizard before she was converted by the Black Court.

When Dracula came out it would have been around the time Eb was Captain of Wardens meaning he would have been up to his neck in that little enterprise.

morriswalters:
Did your grandfather share stories about his loves and hates with you? About his mistakes and secret shames? About who he had sex with and where? If he did you have a particularly special grandfather.

Arjan:
It seems that Ebenezer does not trust Harry and wants control over him to educate and shape him into someone more to his liking.

But also:"Come on. I'm a wizard. We have union rules against telling anybody anything,"

Mr. Death:
Are we forgetting that a White Court Vampire seduced and then murdered Ebenezer's daughter?

What makes you think there has to be some other, hidden reason for him to hate vampires besides that?

Does Harry have some other, hidden reason for why he hates ghouls aside from the fact ghouls did horrible things to people Harry cared about?

It's really not that complicated.
