3. Do the ends ever justify the means?

Post by smkelly »

Some of the characters were forced into actions they never would have considered under normal circumstances, and the motto of ‘ends justifying the meansʼ was a rationale for some charactersʼ actions.

Have you ever felt forced to make a decision you would be uncomfortable with under any other circumstances?
