I meant to share this the other day, but as we well know, the computer exploded. But I still want to make sure it's archived since it is very much of a viewpoint upon which I often base my play of Lelouch.
Celiss explains the Lelouch and Kallen relationship and expands this to an explanation of Lelouch himself.
( Lelouch is basically a good guy trying his darndest to play the role of the villain. He truly wants to be the ally of Justice, but continually lies to himself, telling himself that he is 'only pretending'. This explains Lelouch's behaviour in episode 10 (his conversation with C.C. beside the pool) and his actions at the end of episode 25 -- why he chose all the meanest words available and generally acted like a complete ass there. )
