3.) Ben Linus is a good person, proved by how much he cared for his daughter and was deemed worthy of living. Also, he forced Widmore to leave.
I don't know. I think most of what Ben has done has shown him to be a bad person. He lies constantly, he's hungry for power, and he doesn't care what happens to anybody else but himself.
I think the one thing that Ben
isn't is a killer. He wouldn't kill Alex when she was a baby. He didn't kill Danielle when he was supposed to. He didn't kill Penny after seeing little Charlie. He's had other people kill
for him, but the only two people I can remember him having killed himself are Abbadon and Locke. We never actually saw him pull the trigger on Abbadon, so I think it's possible that maybe he didn't do that. And Locke, well...doesn't appear to be actually dead.
By the way, how old was Ben supposed to be when he was sent by Widmore to kill Danielle and Alex? He was 12-ish when Ethan was born. Ethan looked like he was about 12-14 when he and Ben went to kill them, so Ben would have to have been in his mid-twenties? I just found it funny because no matter what kind of toupee you put on him, Michael Emerson does not look like he's in his mid-twenties. :wink:
