This is just a collection of what I've been wondering for quite awhile now and was curious if anyone else ever had similar thoughts.

Why is Peter constantly reputed to be evil?

Jeff Davis has said that Peter is based on Iago from Shakespeares' 'Othello'. For those unfamiliar with it, I recommend checking out this link for the cliff notes about Iago: []

The characters in the show have often stated that Peter is a monster but where in the series has this been shown?

Killing your niece is, admittedly, a pretty shitty thing to do but what are the facts surrounding this?

Peter had warned Talia often that the Argents were a viable threat and was ignored. Kate Argent manipulated Derek and, aided by her friends, set the Hale fire, killing most everyone inside.

Peter is driven insane while comatose from said fire and upon awakening notices that Laura has failed to avenge her family's deaths. She ran away and hid instead.

Peter then has to lure her home and kills her for the Alpha power in order to exact revenge which he immediately begins by hunting down those responsible.

So far....not as monstrous as we've been led to believe.

Meredith carries out an assassination plot developed by a comatose and insanely rambling Peter. What does Sheriff Stilinski do? Point a gun at his head!!!! WTF? Why? How is Peter responsible for what some crazy banshee began? Honestly, if Peter were really that evil, he should have killed them all right then and there.

Peter's reasoning to Scott is spot-on. In a world full of bad guys that will not care about your moral hesitance, there needs to be a leader that isn't afraid to do what is necessary to protect everyone else.

So why was Peter put in prison? Because he is dangerous? Scott is dangerous...along with Derek, Chris Argent, etc.

So he was placed in prison because he disagreed with how the Alpha was handling things and in the end challenged him? Seriously? He didn't commit a single crime but for those two reasons alone, he is placed in prison? Whatever.

Perhaps Peter isn't trustworthy, despite helping them all in some way or another in every single season, but has he shown us to be "evil"? Deucalion (whose evil is widely known) kills an untold number of ppl for his own power and yet is simply released with a small warning?

Makes.No.Damn.Sense.

Your thoughts?
