Of course Azula has good in her. No one is pure good or pure evil. There is no black, there is no white, there is only infinite shades of grey, one for every living personal. Some people have more or less good in them than others do, but no one is one or the other. Azula has good in her, but it's overshadowed by her inner evil. Zuko was once similar. His good was not overshadowed to the point where Azula is, but his good was warped and twisted for a long time. Now, he's finally beginning to untangle it, and his good is truly his stronger self.

That's exactly my point. Those who allow their evil to dominate them will always come to an end that they themselves made. The evil die (metaphysically) many times before their end. The good taste of death but once.

The only problem I find with this theory is that it almost seems like you throw out almost all of the other elements that go with Azula.?? 1. First of all, you're completely forgetting about her father.?? Certainly she takes after her father, but that's more than likely because as it??was hinted: her father practically spoils her, he favors her more, and obviously let her get away with far more than her mother would.?? It wasn't a case of "Ursa didn't love Azula".?? I'm sure she loved her child but you'd have to be blind to not see how rotten Azula can/could be.?? I think it was more a case of she didn't spoil Azula like her father did, so in turn, Azula favored her father more and took after him.?? It's almost like a case of good cop, bad cop, only Lady Ursa in Azula eyes, probably looked more like the bad cop.?? I honestly believe you misinterpeted the part: I believe it was to show just how unfavorable things had been for Zuko, even when he was a child.?? (It was honestly a good thing that he had his mother because it was pretty obvious that was the only loving reinforcement he had besides maybe his Uncle.)

2. I won't lie: I honestly believe that Azula is the way she is because of the way she was raised, but I think it's more like her father had a firmer hold over his daughter than her mother and molded the way she turned out more than her??mother not loving her.??(I almost got the impression that Lady Ursa couldn't *do* anything with her.)

3. Azula may not be *evil* persay but she's pretty darn close.?? I could sit here and give countless examples of her cruelity, one of my favorites being that she was willing to almost kill Ty Lee just to force her into going along with her, but it would take to long.?? It's not an issue of "a poor child who didn't have enough love, never had a chance". It's the issue of a spoiled rotten brat that is far too high on her horse and needs to get knocked off a view times and brought back down to earth.

Indeed, as Iroh said; 'She's nuts and she needs to be taken down'

That is correct.

Every part. Everything you said was right on the money, so to speak.

Where was it said that she was a lesbian? I can quite??easily believe that, though.

I can imagine it, dude. I can imagine it. And when you think about, the fact that Azula is so in-tune with her masculine side is about the equivalent of a gay guy being in touch with his feminine side. She actually could be a lesbian.

Amen, brother.
