Oh no, after the first book i have Garalt on his own little pedestal. Well, i am ready to be hurt.
Lol, I still love Geralt, it's more like "put yourself in his shoes" sort of thing, and the ugly truth is that we would all do stupid shit given the stress or situations to react to like that. It's real easy to sit back and say someone made a poor choice, but if you're the one someone says made a bad choice it's a bit tougher. I honestly can't say I'd just do the right things. Given what he's been up against, he can still be on that pedestal for me. Why he even wants to stick with Yennefer may have just been that stupid wish he made, that he doesn't even know he would ever want un-done later on. It explains a lot of behavior men have with terrible women (and gives some parallels for women in terrible relationships).
People do dumb shit, look at Will Smith.
