** Jaime Lannister treats his squires and washerwomen well. This is likely an extension of his being AFatherToHisMen. He even [[ShipperOnDeck ships them]], and invites a poor raped girl into his household because he can.
** Tyrion Lannister starts off this way, treating the prostitutes he sleeps with respectfully and even teaching one how to read; but as the books go forward he becomes more callous, and by the fifth book he treats them like garbage.

** It's zigged and zagged in ''[[Literature/TheNumairChronicles Tempests and Slaughter]]''. ''Arram'' is unfailingly good to the poor and deeply uncomfortable about the Enlightened Self-Interest of some healer-students working during a pandemic, who're only there to get their degrees and have no compassion for their patients. His friends Ozorne and Varice, on the other hand, are kind, neutral, or cruel depending wildly on the circumstances; they can be generous when in good moods, and far worse when they aren't. Arram, being the point of view character and very invested in his friends being good people, ignores or rationalizes away most of their harsh moments.
