Sam Winchester is hard to describe. He’s enigmatic, mysterious. You think you have him all figured out and then he does something that makes you even more confused.
For me, it’s not confusion. It’s intrigue, it’s me enraptured with everything this character encompasses. It’s his stubbornness and pride that gets him into trouble. His one of a kind faith when everyone else has long since lost hope. His unwavering love and devotion for his brother. His tendency for self-preservation which are his most endearing human qualities. His enormous amount of guilt he carries around. His sadness at fighting with his father before he died, his despair and insanity when Dean finally dies.
His tendency to help others even though he’s too broken to help himself. Whenever he hides secrets out of wanting to help someone else. How he assumes everyone always has it worse. How he jumped into the pit to save the world and his brother.
His unwavering love, compassion, determination, stubbornness sympathy, kindness, understanding, pride, guilt, anger, resentment, faith all makes up his amazingly complex character. Sure he’s an enigma. Maybe he’s too hard to figure out, we’ve heard characters on the show admit as much but once you do. Once you get one little peek inside that head you’ll never want to leave. He’s such a genuinely interesting, complex TRUE human character down to his core that it always amazes me when people claim not to love him. How can you not? He’s the most human of them all. His traits so characteristic of humanity it’s hard not to sympathize with him.
Most of all it’s hard not to love how he loves without judgement. He understands love is hard, he’s gotten burned in that department more times than I can count but he keeps coming back. Loving Dean with every fiber of his being, accepting and loving Castiel despite everything he did, loving Bobby until his last breath, appreciating and loving John even more since he has fallen, loving Mary even after discovering her mistake that damned him. His ability to love those who have hurt him, his ability to forgive and overlook errors yet be so harsh on himself makes him a truly amazing character.
