Noah wasn't the only person there. Could the 'bad guy' have been less cruel than we imagined? Would it have been possible for evil to have been less heartless than we think? Can the man we love to hate actually have felt the pain of the heart? Or is it too late and he is beyond vicious to all humankind?
