It's difficult to take an essay seriously in which the main character's name is misspelled throughout.

It is even more difficult to a take a troll seriously who thinks a typographical error is enough to disregard someones post. If you didn't figure it out, I was still editing the post at the time you posted. Indeed, I was quite surprised to see three people even reading this at 6.00 am.

News flash, it's not 6 AM everywhere in the world. Where I live it's presently just past 2 AM and I'm having a break from work.

When my classes are learning rhetorical analysis, we often use movie reviews as sample texts for said analysis. When we about ethos, misspelling a major character's name is one of the primary examples of errors that damage the reviewer's credibility. That's not just a typo: it's an indication of lack of careful reading.

Well said. If something so simple as name spelling hasn't had proper attention paid to it, how is one supposed to give credence to any theories or hypotheses presented within the remainder of the text?
