my transition sentence after describing the actions and choices of a few characters: "On the surface their character can be construed as contemptible— squandering their intelligence and ability for lavishness, capitulation, and banditry."
now I'm trying to transition that these actions that "appeared" contemptible were actually a means to a greater good.
Thoughts?
