An analysis of Azula’s issues (and the dysfunctionality of the entire Royal Family)

flutiebear:

sokka-style:

As much as I love Iroh, and his amazing relationship with Zuko, sometimes I wonder… why’s he so devoted to helping Zuko, but not Azula?

He’s willing to forgive Zuko again and again for his mistakes, but Azula, who he’s never bothered to give even one chance, is definitively “crazy and needs to go down”?

In “The Avatar and the Firelord”, he tells Zuko that the source of his inner conflict is that he is descended from Avatar Roku and Fire Lord Sozin, and this causes good and evil to be at war inside of him, and Iroh believes that the good side will win out in the end. However, he fails to realize that Azula has the same lineage of Zuko and has the same conflict within her. Why isn’t she given a chance?

Now I’m not trying to turn Azula into a woobie; her issues were much more serious and ingrained into her than Zuko’s, and it definitely would have been much harder for her to overcome them, but why doesn’t anyone give her the chance?

An excellent analysis of one of the best-written villains in modern television.

Love this! It goes along so well with our “bad girl” theme today.
