Ansel The Originals - Tumblr Posts

Why do you think Mikael was so angry at Klaus specifically? Why wasn’t he more angry at Esther, who was the one who cheated on him? And why wasn’t he a little angry at Ansel? Why did he focus all his anger on Klaus?

No idea about Esther, but Mikael was mad at Ansel.

He literally hunted down his entire family and him, brutally killing him and that was what caused the whole fight between vampires vs werewolves, as stated by Elijah in season two. He started a war between species that would last more than a thousand years just because his wife cheated on him, so I'm pretty sure he was a little angry at him.

Despite what everyone seems to think, I'm pretty sure Mikael abused Esther too, but it's not like he could actually "punish her" for it considering Klaus murdered her shortly after they became vampires.

And no matter how Klaus ended up turning out after he turned, it was just awful the way Mikael treated him, and while I do think he abused his entire family, I do believe Klaus got the worst part of it. But Mikael himself said he didn't know why he hated him, even before he knew everything: he just did. However, I think it may have something to do with how much Freya and him looked alike, especially as children. Nothing justifies it, though.
