The example above seems to be a stretch since it uses Alternate Character Interpretation to make someone apply for the trope. I would say cut it.

The 'however' section seemed to elaborate on the previous point, rather than contradict it completely. Still, it does offer valid reasons for the 'sympathetic' nature of the character.

It is probably a one-sided example, if there are clear mitigating circumstances. A creature responding to prior treatment - as in Shelley's Frankenstein - is probably a different trope. You could probably cut that, as it has unmentioned circumstances which undercut the example.

"Hello. Casually, tell her that she's died."
