Felt far worse for ...

Hi

Two people (a woman and a man) were in danger. Somoene wanted to kill them.

The man looked at the woman and felt far worse for her.

That guy knew that he deserved to be killed but she didn't.

Does it mean he was much more sorry for her than for himself?

That's the way I'd take it. Is this the exact quote? Is there an earlier statement showing how he felt "for" himself?

(It could mean "far worse than before," depending on context.)

Hi

Yes, it is the exact quote.

He was a hitman and many professional killers tried to kill him before but they failed and now it seemed like he would be killed by some petty criminal and he cannot believe that. However he felt far worse for her because in his opinion he deserved to be killed for everything he did in the past and that woman never hurt anyone.

cheers

Yes, that ties it up much better. He was feeling bad for himself because an amateur was about to succeed where the pros had failed. (But much worse etc.)
