History YMMV / WhereSheHasGone

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: John. Readers are suppose to feel admiration for him reaching out to his daughter, yet he still does little to actually make up for the all the trouble he's caused. In many ways, he's indirectly responsible for most of the major conflicts that occur throughout the trilogy, and all because he wanted a brief moment of sexual satisfaction with a married Italian woman. Just to name a few, he's indirectly responsible for Cristina's social ostracism, her death in childbirth, leaving Vittorio motherless and Rita totally orphaned, Rita's existence causing frequent infighting amongst the extended family because she's the product of an affair, so much that she's adopted by her friend's family, who's father ''might'' have predatory feelings for her, Mario's grief over his dead wife's infidelity and subsequent suicide, and the overall depression that Rita and Vittorio have over the course of their lives. With this in mind, instead of trying to make permanent amends with Rita, he abandons her once again at the end.

* TheWoobie: Rita, again. Throughout her life she's never had anything she could truly call hers, exaggerated by the fact that she was born on a boat out on the ''ocean', so she she doesn't even have a homeland. Everything she's ever had was due to others' charity, some grudgingly. The only thing, or rather person she has ''any'' claim to is her half-brother Vittorio.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: John. While we're suppose to feel good that he even decided to reach out to his daughter, he still does little to make up for the fact that he left a small Italian family in shambles, and indirectly causes plenty of family tension among the Innocentes. When he finally steps into his daughter's life, he sticks around for a bit, then leaves her all over again.
