: Re: How to help the reader wrestle through historical atrocities which would be considered normal to the POV character I'm writing historical fiction which is set in ancient China. My MC is a historical

Building on what was said by Sara Costa, perhaps there is a secondary moral to your story. A person can live a moral, self-respecting life independent of their culture. We who see ourselves as enlightened often assume smallness of character and misery where there was none.

Perhaps you could address your readers in an afterword. You could ask them to put themselves in your MC's place, and replace their modern culture's subjective values with the MC's values. What would they do differently? This seems like a difficultâ€”yet usefulâ€”exercise.
