Grey’s Anatomy

Meredith Grey , the key supporter of the long - running medical dramaGrey ’s Anatomy , is a potent , endue character , but it is the flaws in her nature that make her all that much more relatable and real to the audience .

Asone of Shondaland ’s most inspiring heroines , Meredithhas had a lot go on in her spirit . And she has surmount every hardship that might have well destroyed others in her place . But even if she has salvage   many   live and been a great mother to her kids , she has also act rashly and been insensate and removed to those who merit better .

Worst: Cold & Rude

Meredith is   not the warmest of citizenry and especially in the first few season , she even   come out passably stuck up . She did n’t fend out as being particularly kind and was positively cold and yokelish to sure people like Lexie , who did n’t deserve such deportment .

She was also very rude to Maggie Pierce at first , and that was even before she had revealed herself to be her half - sister . Meredith is broadly   never extroverted to new people , and especially those who take some kind of familial connection to her , even if that is   through Derek . For example , she was not a ray of sunshine to Derek ’s sisters , Amelia and Liz , let alone her own half - sisters .

Best: A Good ‘Person’

Meredith might have been moth-eaten to others , butshe was a very good friend ,   at least to Cristina , her   ' soul ' , and then by and by to Alex who had take aim on that mantle .

She follow the code between booster , keeping secrets for Cristina and looking out for her . For instance , she knew something was incorrect with Burke ’s hand but did n’t divulge anything to Derek or anyone else as she was shielding Cristina . Still , later , she was skeptical of her getting splice to Owen the right way after the traumatic shooting incident of season 6 , and tried to caution Cristina against hurrying into something she might rue .

Worst: Leaps Without Looking

Meredith is uncaring at time . She leaps before thinking about the consequence and   other people often have to pay up for her actions .   For instance , whenshe took off with little Zola , her military action almost cost her and Derek their chance to legally sweep up the sister . And all this encounter because she had taken it in her hands to tamper with Derek ’s clinical trial in the first position and had been   fired from the infirmary .

What she did was well - meant , but she did n’t think about how it could strike her , Derek , and even the hospital ’s repute . Still afterward , when she committed insurance fraud to help a patient , her actions put DeLuca in difficulty as he study the blame onto himself , and both Alex and Richard were fired from Grey Sloan Memorial for standing up for her .

Best: A Good Parent

Meredith might have abducted Zola at one sentence before she formally became her female parent , but in timeshe has become a sincerely dear mom .

Derek ’s tragic expiration forced her into becoming a single parent , and she always commit the needs and well - being of her kid first . She does n’t desire her dates to meet her kids until she ’s sure that everyone involve is   ready for it . And even in the current import in time of year 17 , as she is fighting   for her life , it has been said more than once that she is hanging on to life because she ca n’t leave her children .

Worst: Untrusting

Meredith is very untrusting when it comes to people . This could be a DoD mechanics since she has been hurt by a lot of the masses she loves before . But her untrusting nature makes it unmanageable for her to make Friend , or even be appealing .

She trusted neither Thatcher norSusan Grey when they turned up in her life , even though the latter , especially , was nothing but sweet to her .

Best: Cares Deeply

Meredith cares deeply for her patient and does n’t give up well . She is so invested in saving patients that in one of the late episodes before the show had gone on   its wintertime hiatus , she could n’t help herself when she date a patient role in the diametrical cabin coding and ran to help her even though she was herself still severely ill from the coronavirus .

Meredith ’s idolatry to her patients wasbest highlighted in the time of year 16 episode , " My Shot " , where her protagonist Alex Karev gather an enormous number of people whose lives she had save over the year to vouch for her in front of the aesculapian licensing board .

Worst: Goes Back On Her Promise

When Derek received as an chance of a lifetime in DC , Meredith agreed to move with him , however unwillingly .   But then she made an about - twist and refuse to go after Cristina told her that in spite of Derek ’s languor , it was Meredith who was the sun in their kinship .

devotee are divided in this , as many believe that Meredith was right not to want to give up her life . But the fact remains that become back on promise was kind of a radiation diagram for Meredith . For example ,   in the pilot , she had promise Cristina that the latter   would get whatever reward was up for grab if she assist her visualise out the problem with Katie Bryce . But the moment Derek involve her to assist him in the surgery , she was unable to keep her promise .

Best: Can Make Huge Sacrifices

Meredith might have go back on her word to Derek , but the very fact that she was quick to give up   everything intimate to her andmove to a unlike metropolis for Derek ’s sake , ab initio , showed that she was able to make huge sacrifices .

At the end of the sidereal day , Meredith is inherently good and uncoerced to take huge risks for the sake of those she loves . She asked the shooter Gary Clerk to hit her so that Derek would be able-bodied to have his operating room in the thrilling season 6 finish " Death And All His Friends " , and in the episode where a affected role turn up with a bomb in his bureau , she slid her hand on it without   regard for her own lifespan .

Worst: Whiny

Meredith Grey , at least at the beginning of the series , complained almost incessantlyand was rather annoying in her ways . She always overthought matters and come along coloured and pessimistic .

True , she had not had an soft childhood and was take in a difficult prison term with Derek who had   decided he would have to give his wife a fortune instead of staying with Meredith . But she projects her feelings onto others , complaining about whatever or whoever comes in her way .

Best: Pushes Herself

In spite of all her wide-ranging   trait , Meredith Grey ’s best trait is that she is able to pick herself up and move on . After all , her life is scatter with utterly devastating tragedy one after the other , and after each incident , she has campaign herself and go from strength to strength .

Whether it was the infirmary shooting where Derek almost died in front of her , orthe horrific plane crash where her little baby Lexie diedbefore her eyes , or Derek ’s shocking death , Meredith has always met every challenge that got flip her way and come out on top of them .
