I read on twitter someone saying that Klaus told Marcel the same thing while growing up. I dont recall. BUT if that is true then maybe that was a wakeup call for Klaus when he heard Mikael urging him "Mercy is for weak". He might have realized that he was doing what Mikael did to him and he has to do better with Hope.
Now, despite that lesson taught by Klaus to Marcel, again if true, in 402 Marcel should mercy to Mikaelson and let them go. He didnt even kill klaus all those years.

I don't remember if Klaus taught Marcel that, but he probably did. I think Klaus is getting a few wakeup calls lately, and I hope he does much better with his daughter.

and I think that is why he let Marcel live coz at that exact moment when he saw Marcel trying to kill Elijah, he thought of his father and his words (if I recall the flow of the events properly). He wanted to prove his father wrong not the HOLLOW.

Mix of both, I think. Or maybe he wants to prove to himself that sometimes it's okay to be merciful.
By the way, I will get to answering your posts in the other thread, I'm just short on time right now.

It could be "kindness does not make you weak." Klaus was as per Elijah and Rebekah the sweetest and kindest man when human so maybe he is hanging on to his "lost" humanity. Thats fine. Whenever you get time. Looking forward to it. |

I think Klaus only ever wants himself to win, to be honest. Not killing Marcel was HIS call.

IIRC, in S1, Klaus and Marcel are having a conversation about something and Marcel says, "Mercy is for the weak; you taught me that."
But it wasn't really him - it was the necklace. IMHO, that necklace inhibited at lot of his natural emotion. He was never his true self.
And Klaus has been showing mercy since TVD - him showing mercy now for someone he cares about isn't new.

I completely forgot about the pendant. You are right, the pendant did help him keep his "real" temper in control. But we will never really know his real temper when he was a child, will we? If I remember correctly Tyler's temper started to get out of control when he reached his adolescence not before which makes sense, with all teenage hormones combined with untriggered werewolf gene so maybe KLaus was always going to be sweet child but we will never know. I could be wrong about Tyler. Also to consider is that we have seen Klaus show many acts of mercy since TVD. Sometimes when I was sure that he will not show any but he did so where did that come from? Unless there were there in the first place. One does not wake up one day and decide to be merciful or do random acts of mercy. As viewers we have seen him show acts of mercy but I dont think Elijah has ever seen them and acknowledged them so far. As per canon Klaus has not shown any act of mercy in the eyes of his siblings. |
