essay on cruelty or mr. fatzer meets the queen of spades # 02
A so violence divinely violent raises the victim above the monotonous life in witch men carry on with their calculated lives. Cruelty can derive towards erotism, as well as, eventually the massacre of prisoners may aim cannibalism. The return to animality, the definitive oblivion of limits is unconceivable in war. Thirst for blood, delirious warriors, however, do not massacre mutually [Bataille ]. But it was not in regard to one, but to all the crude and rough battles, bloody and unnecessary, given that all wars are stupid. Essay on Cruelty or Mr. Fatzer meets the Queen of Spades regards to all the stupid crude wars and rough battles, bloody and unnecessary. It begins on the unbearable that generates this violence witch is pure perversion, thirst for power and cruelty. To treat human stupidity and meanness, two characters were selected: The Queen of Spades [Lewis Caroll] and Mr. Fatzer [Bertold Brecht]. A dialog between them both can be almost a non-dialog indeed. A tension among the verbally enunciable and the horror portray in the massacres images without filters. What is this place, asks our character. It is a flesh trade, answers another one. In the logic of war, of battlefields, we bump into great misery in these times of scarcity - absolute misery deriving of poverty of spirit, to whom there is no solution. The thirst of power reigns and this fight has no winner everyone loses.
