I don't think however he planned to give the weight of his sins to someone else.
I don't agree with this. By giving Zaku the identity of Zero, he was transferring the weight of his sins onto him. I'm not saying it was because he wanted to, but by doing it, the sins transferred. People would go on believing that he was the same Zero from before... that the accomplishments he had made were all things done by the same person. Regardless of whether they are viewed as positive doings or negative doings, he still caused lives to perish as Zero, and that sin no longer was his to shoulder when he died. I'm not sure what you are talking about with the 'repenting' stuff since that is all just speculation on your part.
I know that he didn't look for redemption. That was the point I was trying to make. I think he should have - because he deserved it in my opinion. I understand why he did what he did in a sense. I'm only stating that I don't agree with it because I believe for his characterization there was a better solution to his outcome at the end of the season.
As for the communicating with others, again, because he didn't talk - I thought that this was weak to his character and poor planning from the writers BECAUSE his character has always been the type to carry burdens or suffer in silence. I think by talking or at least using his heart to communicate, it would have displayed some measure of character growth... rather than having him die with the very same personality and resolve (in regards to the wall he puts up) that he comprised in the beginning of Season 1.
Basically the real problem is Lelouch's psychology. We aren't talking of a well balanced adult but of a traumatized teen. He might be smart but this doesn't mean he's capable to do always the right choices.
You stated this perfectly. It's very true. He's good at calculating for sport, but when it comes to matters of the heart... he never learned how to plan his actions accordingly. But, if he had learned to vocalize his pain, I think -while this is another romanticized view- it would have really shown that he had become a man and that he had grown... and that he wasn't just the teenager who lived from one day to the next, ridding himself of boredom through shady games with adults.
Anyhow, I understand what you're saying. I was just stating what I felt would have been a more well-rounded ending. But, it's only my opinion. :)
