Evjul.

We discussed "evil" today in Contextual studies.
I found this really interesting, as everyone have a different opinion on what it is.
We were shown a clip from Batman where the Joker were the victim and Batman was the 'evil' one. That was fun.
And also of actors who were playing Iago from the play Othello, where they had to justify his opinion to be able to be the character better. It's quite clear that Shakespeare used to be a highly intelligent man. What Iago said (from an excerpt  from the play) was extremely clever. I can't remember exactly what he said, but he basically called the human race evil and said "yeah, I don't fear Hell, so go right ahead and send me there, God, old man!". Which is.. Myes.
It was quite easy to agree with some of the things he said. They were formulated very well.
But it is probably easier to agree with a charismatic manipulator because of the very careful and calculated formulation, anyway, so hopefully I wasn't the only one agreeing.
I really liked this class, today. We discussed a lot, like if it was OK to be a paedophile "in your mind" even if you're not acting upon it.
I do like that people seem to think that revenge is OK if you only justify it enough. If someone "killed your family" or something, yes, of course you will want to do terrible things to the killer, but it still doesn't make it less "evil" to want the revenge. Actually, can we say that "rage" is evil?
Seeing as when we're enraged we tend to do the most cruel of things, don't we.
Amusing, this so called evil, isn't it!
And so fascinating to just hear peoples opinions of it!
So much fun! :P
