Witch - a good evil

Pinkie 2022-04-19 09:01:14

It is also good to choose indifference when you have the option of destroying the world.

In general, the witch chose the kindest she could in every choice.

The sunflower that originally belonged to a witch was taken away by the royal family and gave birth to a girl with sunflower ability

If you are a witch you have the following options

1. Give up the life that is about to die because of the loss of the magic power of the sunflower, and fulfill the happy family of others

2. Try to get the magic of the sunflower

Friends who choose 1, please exit this comment after reading the next two paragraphs. In the choice between life and death, not many people will choose death calmly. Richard Parker was killed and eaten by his fellow shipmates, who never thought he might have a happy family. Moral laws are very insignificant in the face of life and death, not to mention that witches are moral to the greatest extent possible while ensuring their own life. The price of a witch's morality is death, and violating it brings only harm. And the witch also tried to minimize the damage, sneaking into the palace without hurting anyone, she just wanted to take away a strand of magical hair - after the treasure was taken away, she did not take away the magic power or kill people in revenge. , and only try to take away a little bit to maintain their own life. And she is a witch that everyone fears, a person with great power, who takes no revenge or harm to those who took her things, she just wants to survive. Isn't this kindness?

It's a pity that the cut hair has no magic power, and the witch was forced to choose between death and taking the princess away. Very reasonable choice.

After taking away the princess, there are many options

1. Using magic, kill the princess to gain power (fairy tale after all)

2. Control the princess with chains, etc., without giving any education, not even teaching her to speak, it is completely used as a tool (the witch's own singing hair magic also works)

3. To educate the princess, call each other mother and daughter, and let her grow into a well-rounded person. (At least from the movie point of view, the education in all aspects may be better than the king's own education) but restrict her from going out of the tower.

4. On the basis of 3, let the princess go out freely

Maybe idealists will choose 4 right away, but what happens when they go out and are seen by people in the kingdom? Whoever steals the crown will be hanged, but what about whoever steals the princess? Being recognized by the people of the kingdom means the death of the witch. The death of the princess means the death of the witch, and the cut off of the princess' hair also means the death of the witch, and believe me, after the princess has been gone for so long, her hair and people are fine, it can only be said that the script is arranged.

The witch chose 3, also 3, or the witch's kindness killed the witch. Compared with 1 and 2, 3 is obviously the most unreliable and the most risky, but because of guilt, kindness and love, she made the choice to make the princess the most happy, and not to kill herself.

Besides, does the witch have any love for the princess? Yes. It's just that this love is not great and selfless, and of course we can't ask everyone to have great and selfless love. A witch will not sacrifice her life for the princess. At the juncture of life and death, she will definitely choose her own life and that of the princess. All selfish people are like this. But is there no love for selfish people? For example, between couples, it is love that regards each other's life as more important than their own. But that kind of love that just wants to make the other person happy and care about the other person, but doesn't give up his life because of the other person is also love. The witch's love for the princess is not a great love, but a real little love, meeting the princess' birthday request and cooking different meals for the princess that she likes. Is it also part of an evil plan? I just wanted to make the princess happy. And this unreasonable effort to make others happy is called love. And in my opinion, on the premise of not affecting their own survival, the witch's love has reached the extreme. In the eyes of the witch, the princess is not only a tool, but also a companion; in the eyes of the princess, the witch is just a witch (as seen from the dream of the spin-off princess).

There are several lines of witches in the play that express the witch's character and point of view to the extreme.

When the princess gets angry when she asks to go out and gets rejected:

Great,Now I am the bad guy. (complaining tone)

When the princess said to leave forever:

You want me to be the bad guy?

Fine, now I'm the bad guy.

These three sentences contain a lot of opinions and feelings, which are difficult to express clearly. Here are a few examples:

The witch doesn't really think of herself as a bad guy, she thinks it's necessary for her to limit the princess' freedom. She was dissatisfied with the complaint that the princess was going out, and was angry at the breakup of the princess. Her feelings for the princess are not just the feelings of the criminal for the prisoner, either.

To finish off with some rambling, if you're badly wounded in the wilderness, rescued by a criminal and cared for tenderly for a while, then send you home. Then you find out that he was a thief a long time ago, will you hate him?

What if he was a serial killer or rapist a long time ago? Would you hate him, wishing he was torn apart by five horses?

Is there salvation in this world? How great must the sin be before it cannot be redeemed?

Tell another story. In the "City of God" (a slum in Brazil) children are born in poverty and violence, and becoming criminals is the only way to survive. Do these children need to be severely punished?

When a person commits a "necessary evil" in order to survive, is there a need to mitigate punishment?

The world is not black and white. Even the cruelest thugs have their own kindness and love, and even the greatest great men do things that are shameless to mention. Don't think that one evil thing a man does will deny him everything.

In this online environment where people who touch porcelain will be killed, and murder/sexual assault/trafficking will be delayed, there may not be many people who can understand what I said. But it doesn't matter.
