BLAKE WEEK SEVEN REVIEW - Fadia's reply to my Bromion post...
Yo Fadia,
Thanks for the reply. I hope I answer your questions successfully...
I know people can be rehabilitated. In my first paragraph I talk about King Lear changing his stripes and how it was a shame he died soon after. I know I also said I didn't like him but "thats life". Not everyone likes everyone. Reading The Poison Tree tells us that. But I see your point. Of course people can be rehabiliated. There are plenty of professionals around to take care of that. But Bromion? He didn't seem at all remorseful for what he did Fadia. He just made excuses for what he did. "One law for the lion and ox." That is crapola. Would I make a harsh judge? Who knows? I think plenty of people agree with me though about Bromion. Alot of the girls in class were getting fired up about him. This is the part where people post comments agreeing with me...hehe kidding.
Lear forget about whatever it is you are going crazy over!
There is a big, scary-looking, poison tree behind you!
Run damn you!
As for Bromion being a "product of society", if this is so then why didn't Theotormon rape anyone? He is a male from the same society. Why did he keep his utensil in his pants? This is the part of your argument I don't fully understand. I know you are saying that Bromion was brought up in a society where females were disrespected and seen as "strumpets." If that is the case though then Theotormon was also brought up in the same society, why wasn't he doing the same thing? He did the opposite. He went from a butterfly to a caterpillar. He went backwards in the evolutionary process. He hid himself and moped and groaned kicking the dirt around him.
From this, to that. Theotormon you poor sod.
Oothoon doesn't blame Bromion much at all because I think she is deadset scared crapless of him. He just raped her. Why would she be having a go at him? To provoke him to do it again? Bromion means nothing to Oothoon so that is another reason why she didn't focus on him much and spent all her time chasing Theotormon. I think that makes sense. If she was scared of him though, she didn't show it much. She seemed like a strong woman after it happened. She seemed liberated. But who knows, she might have deepdown been scared of him. Makes sense to be afraid of a man who just raped you. Bromion had the type of unapologetic attitude that he would have probably raped Oothoon again if he had the chance. So it's best she stayed away from him and never really mentioned him after that. I think Bromion should eat a long, hard, brownish-blackish turd for breakfast. His breath smells like that anyway.
That is how I see it anyway.
Hope that helps.
Tucks Signing Off.
P.S. Such an appropriate song choice. Oothoon = Love and Bromion = Hate. You suck Bromion.
P.P.S. Apologies for graphic description at end of last paragraph. I just think very little of Bromion.
