The Pillars of the Earth/YMMV

• Complete Monster: William.
• Memetic Molester: William. Not played for laughs, though.
• Moral Event Horizon:
  • Alfred is a sadistic jerk towards Jack from the beginning. He crosses the line when he starts beating Aliena. Poor girl.
  • William starts out as a jerkass and a doofus, nearly running over Tom's daughter and later being a pig to Aliena. His sack of the castle is just politics, but he really crosses the line into mustache-twirling villainy when he rapes Aliena in front of her brother.
• Tear Jerker
• The Woobie: See the Moral Event Horizon entry. At some point you just want to hug poor Aliena until she stops crying.
