I made the mistake of giving my aunt all volumes to read after I only reread volume 9. I don't really remember it all too well, so I can't properly discuss the events with her. I just asked her what she thought of Griffith (or Richard as we like to call him) and she said that she "doesn't know if he did something really evil". Like he had no choice or something, with his fate and dream, and all that. She just said that it was obvious that something would happen and that Griffith always was an egoist so it's not unexpected that he sacrificed his 'friends'. At least she thinks that what he did to Casca was mean.

She also wasn't really shocked by the graphic violence of it all. She just said that the drawings were really cool and fascinating. Guys are our brains fried, desensitized or are we just illiterate? I will read the rest of the volumes after I get them back so I can properly talk to her about it.

I'm writing this post, because I expected a bigger reaction from her. I'm kinda disappointed (not that I wanted to traumatize my aunt lol). That's all. I mean, are your experiences similar? Or is it actually traumatic to read and we're just weird.
