little notes

There are a lot of things to think about, just keep in mind.

1. What happens to human beings when they encounter creatures more powerful than themselves? In fact, the scale of the parasitic beasts is very small, and human beings finally won, emphasizing that human beings are the poison of the earth. Thinking of the Trisolaran, human beings face crushing pressure on the contents of the Trisolaran.

2. Among the parasitic beasts, there is always a human-oriented side in many stories, which is human emotion and empathy. Shinichi was finally hesitating whether to kill Gotou. It even describes Migi's compassion for the same kind at the end, as well as his friendship with Shinichi, which is also approaching human beings. Are you still too narcissistic, thinking that other creatures will have the so-called high-level emotions unique to humans?

3. In the end, when Shinichi slashed Gotou with a knife, he sublimated the theme, fighting for himself, not so many high-sounding saviors, for the earth or something. Humans live for their own survival.

4. Human attitudes towards other creatures. But it is the behavior of other creatures according to their own preferences. Owning pets, thinking that they will give them food and love, is just self-righteousness. This point of view of the parasitic beast is well expressed.
