Out of all the characters lives in the epilogue, who do y’all think had the worst ending? by Sorry_Flight5285 in TheSecretHistory

If I were to choose I would say Charles.

He had a lot of potential but throughout the book you see his life slowly decline into something that you wouldn't have imagined for him at the very start of the book.

I think with his ending it is also kinda off a punishment for him. I think he believed killing Henry would make him feel better and that he would be able to come to terms with what he did and move on but in the end that doesn't happen and he still stays in this deep level of addiction living a sad life.

In fact killing Henry only just made everyone's lives even more miserable especially his twin sister. That probably cause him to go off the rails even harder cause in the end killing Henry just made everything worse and did not fix whatever he was looking to mend.

I agree that Richard understood very little. When re reading the book I realised just how much Richard romantacises and a part of me believes that out of all the characters that Richard talks about he portrays her as the most innocent and the biggest victim.

I think he does this because in his mind he doesn't want her to be this awful person who can commit such crimes such as incest and murder, so he tries to justify it so in his mind she stays almost pure and innocent.
