The story was written during Joseph Conrad's honeymoon he rented a house on Île-Grande, on the north coast of Brittany, from April to August 1896. Set in Brittany, the story describes a couple whose children have intellectual disability the strain on the family leads eventually to murder. The story was included in the Conrad collection Tales of Unrest, published in 1898. Whedon's sympathy for the desire to be 'independent' should not be confused with sympathy for the Confederacy as a whole, nor with sympathy for slavers or slavery.'The Idiots' is a short story by Joseph Conrad, his first to be published.

Such as Simon and River's parents giving up on River in an effort to save Simon (and themselves) - or in Mal's willingness to push an unarmed, wounded, bound prisoner into his engine intake.

He is well aware that even the best intentioned of people are capable of evil. He can sympathize with their feelings, without sympathizing with their actions.

Whedon is capable of sympathy for many types of people, but that does not mean he sees the world in black and white. Mal's feelings toward slavers was made quite clear, both in his initial suspicion that Simon was 'trafficking' River in the 'Serenity' pilot episode, and again in his reaction to the slavers playing pool in the bar at the beginning of the 'Shindig' episode. I think one can argue that Whedon has sympathy for the Confederate desire for independence from the Federal government, but at the same time, it is obvious that Whedon has no sympathy with the desire of the Confederacy to continue institutionalized slavery. The Confederacy was no more a hive mind than any other government. corvuskorax for the wonderful 100K Logo.For the best Jayne Hat in the verse, check out Ma Cobb on Store Envy.Social Networking for Browncoats on Facebook.A comprehensive catalog of Firefly / Serenity comic cover art and variants.List of Every Serenity/Firefly Comic - by /u/TheFerg714 (updated March 2019).Posts and comments may be removed (or not) at the discretion of the moderators.Posts must be directly related to Firefly.You can discuss politics of the Firefly 'verse.
