[spoilers] Harry and Ruth. The Wonder Years.

RE: [spoilers] Harry and Ruth. The Wonder Years.
I don't think in that moment Ruth was judging him against her own actions. I think she was judging him against his own previous actions. In other words, she was judging him against his previous unwillingness to give up the uranium to save George and Nico, and now, because it is her and he loves her, he makes a different decision. Does that make it less unfair on Harry? No, not for me, but it does help me understand where she was coming from.

I found Ruth's choice of words really interesting. She pertinently tells him that it was unfair of him to love her in that instance. In other words, she is indirectly accusing him of making the decision he made on emotion rather than on common sense, and that she perhaps thinks he would have done things differently if it had been anyone else being held by Lucas. I think she may be right about that. Would he have given up Albany to save Beth or Dimitri?
