no one is "defending" the Peacocks (who are fictional characters in an already dark setting) - we're just saying "calm down" - Pure Evil is hard to get into for a reason and Edmund had to kill the child because it was born with something like 12 or more lethal deformities / ailments that were incredibly rare.. basically the infant would not of survived, no matter what.. the brothers knew it was dying so had no choice.

Mrs. Peacock was insane, btw, she offered her "boys" sex all the time - so when they did start to take advantage of her it was because she encouraged them (no, that is NOT me defending them doing it.. just remember Mrs. Peacock was twisting their already pretty messed up minds into thinking that type of behavior was okay).

Edmund especially is far too "human" to count.. he wants to take care of his family, he is just deeply twisted thanks to an abusive/perverted mother and generations of really messed up mutation / inbreeding.

sorry but there's just no way to have "Pure Evil" apply to them.. "disgusting/disturbing antagonists" =/= Pure Evil.
