Well, that's what separates good writers from bad, isn't it? Tragic characters -- from Hamlet up through Walter White -- are nothing new, It's the journey, not the destination that matters, and even if you KNOW things are going to end badly for your favorite character, going along for the ride and identifying all the places where they could have made different, better choices -- or couldn't do anything different for that matter -- is part of the fun.
