However, I didn't address your response before, but I might as well now. The idea isn't that Cinder is "the real victim" or that she is "not responsible" for any of the things she has done. Certainly doesn't mean she should be rewarded or celebrated in her present situation. Rather the whole point is that Cinder may have been put in circumstances where she didn't really have a "choice" in what she did, in the beginning. As I said, she does now have a choice, but she has no clear reason at present to change her chosen path. It is still reasonable to suggest she had a sort of choice and chose wrongly. Of course, a lot of people would struggle with choosing death in defense of those who have done one nothing but harm and without a real reason to care about the harm she is causing, the incentive to deviate and risk death is still limited.
