famous for a long time. Here are some thoughts.
One: Timothy always knew that it was dangerous to get along with bears, but he also believed that he had mastered the method of getting along with bears. There is a basis for his thinking: Timothy has been in close contact with bears for many years and has never been harmed - which may not be explained by luck. The bear doesn't necessarily have feelings for Timothy (though the director thinks the bear sees nothing but indifference) - Timothy was killed by a bear he was relatively unfamiliar with and was starving. Based on this, then this may not be a story of "the bear is regarded as a human being and is only used as food", but more similar to a "long-term experience with bears and thus relaxed vigilance and finally died unexpectedly" s story.
Two: Save others by himself, I think he will probably regret his tragic death, but if he is logical enough: Since he sympathizes with the female bear who was forced to eat bear cubs due to lack of food, he should also understand the lack of food. food while eating his bear. And if he can really accept the tragic death of himself and his girlfriend: then the death may not be ironic - any way of life has a price, and this is just the price of living with bears. The price itself does not justify the unreasonable choice.
The following is a passage from Huxley's Brave New World, which may shed some light on the protagonist's choice and ending—if the protagonist fully understands and accepts all he faces.
"I don't need comfort. I need God, I need poetry, I need real danger, I need freedom, I need good, I need sin."
"What you're actually asking for is the right to suffer."
"Well," challenged the savage, and I demand the right to suffer now. "
"You haven't said the right to be old and ugly and fucked; the right to syphilis and cancer; the right to want food; the right to be annoying; the right to always be afraid of what's going to happen tomorrow; The right to typhoid fever; the right to be afflicted with indescribable suffering."
long silence. "I demand all this," said the barbarian at last.
Mustapha Mond shrugged. "Then do as you wish," he said.
If the protagonist fully understands and accepts everything he is facing, and if the death of his girlfriend is not considered, the protagonist can also be regarded as a hero who seeks benevolence
Three: I tend to emphasize the cruel side of nature rather than its harmonious side. But of course, the life of a bear does have a special charm compared to that of a man, even though man, as the protagonist's death might make it clear, is no longer entitled to it.
Four: The protagonist has made a lot of films with himself as the protagonist, and has repeatedly confessed in the films. This practice of interpreting himself to determine his own value is very familiar to me.
