I don’t think he was a pacifist either, more like a sort of Don Quixote, as Miranda put it so shrewdly. I think he cared for justice, and a better world, and mercy for all ‘strays’, but NOT strays from the law of men, but more from the way things and people should be like in an ideal world of universal justice and goodness. And I also think that he would be outraged out of his mind for what James had to suffer by the hands of that manmade law, and Miranda, and himself.

Exactly! Thomas wanted a world where people were treated equally and I don’t think he’d have much mercy for a civilization that had no interest in changing or remorse for what it had done to the people it had hurt.
