Different characters in the story convey different views on human nature. With the development of the plot, their respective views have also changed more or less.
Emma and Norman were the "first" to discover the truth. The most idealistic Emma decided to take everyone away without any hesitation. The only weakness of Norman, who was extraordinarily rational and calm, was Emma, so after a brief hesitation, he agreed with Emma's decision. The more ruthless and pessimistic Lei only wanted to protect the people he wanted to protect the most, so he watched the departure of many brothers and sisters all the way. After experiencing the cruelty of survival, Sister Cronne only wanted to create a dream paradise for herself, so she wanted to remove Isabella and replace it. And Isabella, who tried to escape in her childhood, had already accepted "completely giving up". I believe she truly loves Emma, perhaps out of sympathy for her childhood self, but because of this kind of love, she would rather break Emma's leg and her only hope with her own hands, so that Emma can get the hope of her despair. liberation and happiness. This is their first appearance, there is a dark innocence, and there is an extremely cruel "kindness".
After a series of events, after each person had a different experience, their conception changed. I don't know which node really prompted Emma to change. Maybe it was Gilda's question that made her understand that even if all the people in the third farm escaped, they would not be able to save "everyone". Maybe the escape plan didn't go well. Or that Norman's departure made her more realistic about the difficulty of escaping. No matter which moment made her change, the Emma at the end is a more mature Emma, who no longer has a beautiful vision, but can consider the problem more comprehensively and make more realistic decisions. The only thing that hasn't changed is her love for everyone and her absolute belief that the future will get better.
Ray initially coerced Norman into agreeing to take only four of them, but at the end of the first season, he was surprised when Emma said he had left behind children under the age of four. Perhaps it was Norman's willingness to sacrifice his life to find out the last information for them that touched him. Perhaps it was Emma's constant optimism that infected him. Perhaps it was the guilt of sending off so many siblings along the way that transformed him. Even Emma's last move, or Norman's last plan, finally convinced him that there was another way out. Either way, Ray won't be as grim and pessimistic as before.
The transformation of Sister Crone is more like "people who are about to die, their words are also good". I am reluctant to explain her decision in terms of revenge. While it is a reasonable explanation to learn that Isabella decided to put her to death, and to leave a message to Norman and the others to help them escape to get revenge on Isabella, I would rather believe that her choice was to bring a little Humanity leaves the world, retain a little humanity to end this miserable life. "In the end, I don't want to betray the dignity of being a human being again."
For Isabella, watching Emma cross the cliff with her own eyes is probably like a childhood dream come true. The hope that took ten or twenty years to bury was dug up by Emma and placed in front of her. I really want to know, in addition to wishing Emma a bright future for them, has she ever thought about her own bright future? After seeing the power of human nature, do you feel the urge to do something?
The reason for putting Norman last is that he has a lot of uncertainty. For Emma's sake, he can choose to support her decision to save everyone; in order to win over Lei, he can also agree to Lei's request to leave other people behind. While all three of them are perfect kids, Norman always seems to be the better one. He can hide from Emma and Ray that he has the intention of sacrificing himself to complete the inquiries, or he can formulate their last successful escape plan at the last moment. His IQ, strategy, and foresight are all superior to others, but I can't see his position alone. He didn't seem to believe that he could take everyone, but he didn't seem to really want to leave the others and escape alone. Is the final plan he made to take everyone away? Or just to keep Ray and Emma safe? It is said that Norman turned black at the end. If it is true, is it related to these uncertainties?
