Buoni e cattivi

Ethan tells Claire that the Others are "good people"

Several characters talk of "good people" and "bad people" in Lost. It is not yet known what is meant by this (indeed, as many of the characters have killed or tried to kill at least one other person, on or off the island) or who qualifies as "good" or "bad" in their eyes, as on the show, "good" and "bad" are applied as relative terms.
