OKAY so i am absolutely obsessed with Padme Amidala, and while watching TBOSAS all I could think about was how Sejanus was SO MUCH like Padme. both of them play the role of a morally good character that the main character is contrasted with, Padme being a democratic idealist and Sejanus being anti-Hunger Games and for the humanization of people from the districts. What makes their characters so interesting to me is that their beliefs are such a major part of who they are, yet the people they are closest with have the COMPLETE OPPOSITE views. Anakin fascism-is-the-best-option Skywalker, and Coriolanus the-capitol-is-a-necessary-power Snow. also the fact that both Coriolanus and Anakin "accidentally" kill their loved ones while being caught up in what they could potentially get from the malevolent and influential figures in their lives (Dr. Gaul and Palpatine) makes me CRAZY.

With both Sejanus and Padme I'm shocked by how they are able to look past the red flags posed by the people they love. They care so deeply about those people that they are essentially blind to their shortcomings, even though those shortcomings directly negate everything they stand for. i love both characters so much, and I can't get enough of whatever trope they are. if anyone knows any other characters like this PLEASE let me know! i know I didn't explain this very well but it's all I've been able to think about and I have no idea how to translate it from my brain into words.
