Can good characters engender Judgments?

Yes, I believe that good characters can engender judgment. Judgment is based on how a person acts, talks, behaves in society. A good character can be seen as a person, whom does good deeds in society, such as Robin, from Robin Hood. Even though he steals from the higher and upper class families in society, Robin Hood re-distributes that money to the poor. His actions may seem as bad, but when you look at this action as a whole, you can judge that there is more and creates positive then negative. The assumption that the rich gets upon Robin Hood is that he is a filthy thieve, robbing their hard earned money, but the assumptions made upon the rest of society, is as a glorifying hero.

For say, if Robin Hood had pocketed some of the money which he stole from the riches, then we can say that due to his actions, his good, positive image of him, will be vanished and diminished. His society will be ashamed and disgraced for his small pity action. It only cost a small wrong doing to change the assumption and image of you in society. If you take a look at Simba from the Lion King, when his father dies, and the blame is placed on him, their lion society starts to hate and leave him out of their society and the lion hierarchy is placed on his uncle, Mustafa.

Whereas in films or novel, the good character tends to start becoming and evolve into evil, or his actions become worse, and their inner negative force starts to take over, this is usually the case of an external force. External force can be the nature of society, black magic, painful loss, and negative influence from peers, which would fall under nature of society. With these circumstances listed above, the protagonist, or good character, has external forces, which makes them do bad things. Examples would be redemption. Even in real life, if your neighbour killed a family member or your animal, then you would most likely; you would go and do something bad in return. This same application applies for most novels and films, where redemption would be a cause for the protagonist, or good character, conduct evil actions. Thus, the case for redemption can also destroy the judgments made by society and the reader of the good character.

Therefore, good characters can engender judgment. The protagonist or good character must then watch how he acts in society, if they want to keep their good reputation in society. As said before, it only takes a small wrong doing, to diminish that image, and takes a long time for that image or judgement to build back.
