Hi! Fun that someone else found it interesting!

I personally believe that almost everyone in the world, no matter how evil their acts are, have some good qualities. Most people in the world have family who they care about, even those who have killed family members almost always do it impulsively and regret it in retrospect. Surely there are people in the world who have the emotional capacity of a brick and use their family as a facade to look normal, but there's always a reason for being like that. Perhaps they've been traumatized by an event that caused them to lose the standards us normal people bear with us daily, the most common cases for that is military soldiers who have seen so much violence that they've normalized it or people who grew up without genuine love from their parents or peers which got them a cynical view on life. That villain you brought up seems like an asshole, but whem you think about it he's just a fictional character. And even then, it could be argued that he just did what he felt was right then.

There's an interesting interview with a nazi criminal convicted to life imprisonment for murdering two policemen during a robbery, who has changed alot since his conviction. My favorite part is when he talks about the terrorist Anders Behring Breivik and states that when it comes down to it, Breivik probably felt deep down that he doesn't have any hate against his victims, but that he probably felt that it was necessary to commit the murders to spread what he felt was an important societal problem. And that's often the case with criminals, they do what they feel they have to do in order to accomplish certain goals that they find important.

If I remember correctly, Göring was at his most cruel after his wife died, and was forced to be put in a mental hospital. Considering the thing with sparing Sweden due to his wife being Swedish, I believe he truly cared about her.
