!Spoilers all books! The Fool´s suffering ruined my joy of reading

[mariahcarey]

Second, I would like to hear thoughts about what other people experienced on reading the torture of the Fool. Do you consider that going to these extreme was necessary for the story? I do understand that a motivation for Fitz needed to be created, I understand the appeal of fighting pure evil and I understand that a process of decline can emotionally draw one into a story. I wonder though if it would not have been possible to reach the same effect without the complete destruction of who once was the Fool.wordle

In terms of whether or not it was necessary for the story, that is a subjective question that can vary depending on the reader's perspective. Some readers may argue that the extreme torture and death of the Fool were necessary to show the extent of the evil and brutality of the Servants, and to motivate Fitz to take action against them. Others may argue that it was gratuitous and unnecessary and that the same effect could have been achieved with less extreme violence.
