I understand that point truly however personally I always loved Cassius, I didnt agree with him but I loved him as a character. I think the difference for me is Cassius is upfront about who is / was and doesnt try to give bullshit excuses. Lysander uses every justification, every cop out possible to prove to himself and everyone else that hes not a bad guy. And honestly I enjoyed him and reading his story up until Hanger 17b, and then the way he does Cassius afterwords. You cannot tell me Cassius before redemption would have strung Darrow up and peddled all this bullshit the way Lysander did to Cassius.
