While he knew it was important to hold onto tragedy as motivation in the face of adversity, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Beast Below (TV story)}}) the Eleventh Doctor would not dwell on despair, choosing instead to move on with his life, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Vampires of Venice (TV story)}}) but would still take a period to mourn when he lost someone.

In his more monstrous moments, he was not afraid to strike down those who committed horrific acts.

([[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}}) He was also willing to break his previous incarnation's vow to avoid genocide. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Victory of the Daleks (TV story)}}) | ||
