Good lead. Yes, it will apply nicely. I'm also looking for any mythic
character or hero or darling who professed a certain particular mindset,
but whose followers only saw her or him in one light (from one angle) and,
thus, honored her as such while missing the meaning of her character. This
character need not be mythic, but a person whose great tragedy was being
misperceived.
