Have you ever wondered if Smee, the loyal yet bumbling first mate of Captain Hook in the classic novel "Hooked" by James M. Barrie, could be considered "bad"? On one hand, he unquestioningly follows Hook's orders, often participating in nefarious schemes and piratical endeavors. However, his clumsy nature and bumbling antics often lead to comedic mishaps rather than sinister successes. So, is Smee truly "bad" in the moral sense, or is he merely a product of his environment and loyalty to his captain? Does his bumbling nature redeem him from the darker aspects of piracy, or does his unwavering allegiance to Hook make him just as culpable? Let's delve deeper into the character of Smee and explore these questions together.
