Hotel is one of my least favorite seasons of American Horror Story- but for some reason it's one of the only seasons I've seen all the way through 2 times... as of this point that is only Murder House, Hotel and I'm just finishing up the last episode of Coven for the first time since it aired also!
Anyway... James Patrick March is an interesting Character as far as AHS Lore goes because while he seems very evil while he is alive... as a ghost he seems a little more lighthearted. I believe he only kills people in the afterlife if he believes it will benefit the hotel and its residents... and while he has done terrible things... there's almost a sympathy you have for him... especially in his Apocalypse scenes...
James March killed Queenie- which was honestly one of the hardest deaths in any of the American Horror Story seasons. One of my main problems with Hotel was that Coven was great because Queenie was someone we cared about and she made it out alive with a happy ending but then in Hotel she gets killed..
Speaking of the Hotel Cortez... it's a Hellmouth... which would mean that much like the Murder House- being in there would make a person more evil... and I think that may have been what happened to James Patrick March and why he decided to kill people?
I also think maybe the evil was inside of him during his life- but ghosts change. The way that Vivienne mentions how she doesn't think of Tate as evil anymore... although I feel like part of him still might be... it seems kind of cannon in the show that he's not evil anymore and he actually loves Violet and wants to save Vivienne when she needs him to.
I also feel like this theory makes sense with John's character also. I don't know that he was ever truly evil or had any deep problems like alcoholism or anything... but when he visited the Hotel Cortez- he became worse and ended up becoming the Ten Commandments Killer... and his alcohol problems were worse and everything little just kind of became big.
So that's my theory... Maybe this is canon and obvious and Im just finding this out too... but I still thought I'd write about it.
