For people who actually read the book, she is described as having ASPERGER'S SYNDROME. She clearly has morals and a strong sense of justice, but struggles to express her herself, this has led to her being grossly misunderstood-sometimes by deliberate fraud on the part of 'Sapo' and Teleborian-and the authorities who should have been looking out for her.
Mikel did what he did for her because it was morally right, his job, and because he felt indebted to her. If it wasn't for her their would be no more millennium!!
She exposed wennerstrom's corrupt organisation, saving Blomkvist magazine and his career.
She saved his life
Helped him uncover the truth around Harriet Vanger
In the first book Dragan shames her for not checking on her guardian Palmgren, after his stroke(assuming that he was dead)when she realizes he was alive, she FEELS guilty and even pays for him to have the best possible care.
When Erica Berger was being terrorized by a stalker, Lisbeth helped identify him
she always pays her debts to people
Does this sound like a character of a selfish and ungrateful person?
I know what its like to be on the Autistic continuum, and to have people make snap judgments about you. She may feel gratitude and responsibility, may not know how to express it!
Its remarks in the last book how indebted she feels to everyone; Mikel, Erica, Anikka, 'plague', millennium magazine ,Dragan Armansky, the police officers-everyone who helped her, and how difficult it was going to be to have to close them out after what they did for her.
