Chapter 316 (1/2)
Oedipus was afraid to kill his father and marry his mother, so he left his adoptive father. He thought he was the biological son of his adoptive father, leaving his relatives and friends, just to avoid committing a crime against ethics and escape from the set fate.
The tragedy of Oedipus, from the beginning to the end, Oedipus was innocent. He killed his father and married his mother without knowing it. He didn't do anything wrong. In the end, he blinded himself and exiled himself because of his conscience.
Western tragedy is a process from fate tragedy to character tragedy. In ancient Greece, people's subjectivity was poor, and their inability to face nature made tragedy happen because of inevitable fate. Oedipus is a kind and honest man with high moral standards, but he also has the character defect of irritability. He didn't know the whole process of killing his father and marrying his mother, but the result was based on his character defects and wrong decisions.
His punishment comes from his own pursuit of good and the most fundamental fate. His tragedy is doomed, so is his punishment.
Since childhood, our teachers and family have instilled in us the idea that fate is in our own hands and that man is sure to win the day. The whole human society advocates such a kind of value. People should give full play to their subjective initiative and try to change the situation that is not conducive to their own development.
But the end of Oedipus' life tells us that fate is a powerful, mysterious and terrible force. People are small in the face of a powerful fate, and there is nothing they can do to change anything.
This conflicts with the values we always advocate, and this conflict is an important reason why we feel sad for Oedipus' life.
This tragic story is a cruel and real real world, in which human limitations and weaknesses can be seen at a glance. However, it bears these terrible consequences with a solemn and peaceful attitude of beauty, which is both sad and beautiful. It really makes the viewer have a respect for the order of nature and accept the education function of imperfect human nature.
”I'm just like Oedipus. I'm not willing to be driven by fate, but I can't change my destiny after all.” Said Forsythe with emotion.
”But anyway, if you make a mistake, you should be punished.” Fang Tianxing said to him.
”I only have the last choice. I can't choose how to live, but how to die.” Forsyth sighed.
After that, he pulled out his sword and instead of throwing it at others, he wiped it across his neck and killed himself with a sword.
With the blood flowing out, Fang Tianxing puts away a drop of his blood and sends a signal to James and Reyes, telling them that the truth has come out and let them come.
James and Reyes came together. Seeing the situation at the scene, together with the interrogation of the survivor Lao Wang, they finally determined that Francis was behind the killing of Baron Thor.
As for the reason why Forsyth poisoned Thor, there was no need to ask more. They knew that Thor had too much blood in his history.
In fact, most of the time, the upper class people who are out of reach for ordinary people are not like the earth emperor with a golden hoe in his lust. It's the scene of the upper class society in the distant legend, which can improve its style even at a glance; I really throw the legendary upper class society to my side.
There is no way to achieve their own, can only be left to ridicule, ”so rich at home, but also work, pretend what force.”
