It's hard to say what Cassandra Clare decided to do with Sebastian. She's said in the past the Sebastian is not redeemable, but there are some (including myself) who think that even the detestable brother of Clary Fray can truly rid himself of the horrible demon nature and become redeemed in the eyes of Clary and the readers.
So, I wanted to ask the fans what THEY think. While we wait for the release on May 27th (US date), we leave with you these Sebastian thoughts. Be sure to comment below or tweet us at @tmi_institute with your #COHFtheories.
@TMI_Institute No he attacked and almost raped his own sister.He is too far gone to be fixed imo poor lad

@TMI_Institute kinda. In the end he might become redeemable but then back out

@TMI_Institute @cassieclare not sure about redeemable but I think there's a vulnerable side to him, he wants to be cared and loved I think

@TMI_Institute sometimes he seems like he's a decent guy but then he has those moments where he's like really creepy so tricky question

@TMI_Institute @FallenKilljoy97 if he can rid himself of the demon blood, apologize by doing something worthy, and saving people then yes.

@TMI_Institute @cassieclare I think he has a chance bc it's Cassandra Clare and she likes huge twists in her books.
— Breaunna Jackson (@BreMarie24) January 15, 2014
@TMI_Institute @cassieclare because Clary has faith in him and the blood of Jocelyn.
— Rebecca Bertoux (@vampit1) January 15, 2014
@TMI_Institute @cassieclare because Cassandra loves to tear out our hearts, then stich them back in with love and guaranteed tears.

@TMI_Institute I just want to stab Sebastian ruthlessly. Until he cries like a bitch. Although I don't think that second one is possible.

@TMI_Institute @cassieclare bc he will find true love. mehehe
— Patricia Cruz (@asgardianbadass) January 15, 2014
@TMI_Institute @cassieclare yes. He never asked to be the way he is. All he needs is people to love and care for him. I hope he is cured
— zoe (@mockingjayloves) January 15, 2014
yes with a little Mythology @TMI_Institute @cassieclare

@TMI_Institute after what he did to Clary HELL NO. Maybe if he was rid of his demon blood. MAYBE

@TMI_Institute @cassieclare nah he's got liliths blood in him so I reckon he'll always be bad in some way no matter how hard they try

@TMI_Institute @cassieclare i think he will sacrifice at the end.... #cohftheories

He killed an 8 year old boy without regret and happily tried to torture Izzy (and would have eventually killed her). He helped to arrange the deaths of the Nephilim's children, elderly, and unarmed, untrained civilians in City of Glass, and a bunch of people died. He tried to *rape his sister*. Even things that people could argue are positive aspects of his character (ie part of him seems to yearn for love) present themselves in selfish, twisted ways (ie he may want love, but he has absolutely no problem trying to *take* it or *force* it on those he wants it from-- he wanted to use the Infernal Cup on Clary so she'd willingly be under his thumb (and essentially be his sex slave)). He is trying to raze the planet, and utilizing mind control to do it.
ReplyDeleteSebastian is not redeemable. There aren't excuses for the things he's done.
Also, in order to be redeemed you have to *want* to be a better person, and Sebastian has never expressed interest. You can't make someone repent. That isn't redemption.
I think Sebastian might be redeemed only because of the reference in the Shadowhunter rhyme about the lost coming home.
