art and religion

Religion or belief is the most ardent and vivid call in the era of suffering. There is no sorrow or depression in the kingdom of heaven, only the endless chants of singers and the sincere praise of listeners.

But some people don't believe it.

The black death is full of despair, the believers weep and then get angry, and they search for the witch to call the heavenly father in anger.

What about the unbelievers? Find the beauty and love that exists in the world, there is no God and no death, men and women live.

The so-called paganism is just the reversal of the artistic outlook on life to the dogma. After the reversal, the world is the kingdom of heaven, and you can enjoy the magnificence of life in the songs of Dionysus.

The male protagonist, the little monk, while denying paganism and insisting on his beliefs, did not completely abandon his love, or in other words, he had fantasies about beauty in the world. Whether Heavenly Father or paganism, he could have redeemed him, but hesitantly embarked on the third way and lost the truth, the good and the beautiful, and became a vengeful demon, which is called—going into the devil.

Did you see it? Art challenges religion.

Black Death quotes

  • Langiva: [Pointing at the crusaders' weapons] These are God's gifts to us. These are his words and these fine men his ambassadors.

  • [first lines]

    Wolfstan: The fumes of the dead are in the air like poison. The plague, more cruel and more pitiless than war, descended upon us. A pestilence, that would leave half of our kingdom dead. Where did it come from? What carried its germ. The priests told us it was God's punishment. For what sin? What commandment must we break that could earn this? No, we knew the truth. This was not God's work, but devilry. Or witchcraft. But our task, to hunt down a demon, was God's cure.
