[@TokyoPewPew], I never “got into” Jane Austen, despite all. An English professor in University said never to marry a woman who is obsessed with Jane Austen, and I never looked back. For better or for worse or until I finally decide to read her. In any case, this quote is conflicting, after contemplating characters in Kazuo Ishiguro’s novels. They are all gray, and I love them all — despite all their wrong doings. This is Ishiguro’s intention. I feel like this about a lot of people in the world, too. It’s not the people, it’s the fallen nature that keeps attacking us that I dislike. The closer they are to the fallen nature, the harder it is to be near them, but it doesn’t mean I love them any less.
