Well, history is written by whoever like wins, right? And I'd think any plays or songs or whatever kinda reflect that.
There are two sides to every story. Like when someone is trying to kill you then you probably think they're evil incarnate and don't really give a damn about their reasoning aside from the whole wanting you dead. But if you got the story from their POV maybe it'd be different. Maybe your death meant their life or the life of someone they love.
