Reflections on Power and Desire in Disorder

Herold, a deserter, can do whatever he wants with the help of a captain's skin, from experimenting with power, learning power, and mastering power and abusing it. Throughout the process, we can see how power can make a timid and cowardly person become evil and crazy in a disordered environment.

Herold's path to power came from the disorder of war. The common people lost their trust in the soldiers and lost their recognition of the country's credibility. Soldiers, despairing at the prospect of war, spend their days numb. The chiefs at all levels only cherish the power in their hands, and no longer think about the country, a picture of the collapse of the empire. In this environment, the remaining order suppresses the indulgence of despair. The appearance of Herold caters to people's indulgence. The common people can punish the soldiers with criminal law, the camp chief can clean up the troubles in the camp, and the upper levels can also use this opportunity to divide the power scope of the military department and the judicial department, ushering in the tense of Totally out of control. After the chaotic shuffling, it no longer mattered who Schroeder was, whether his actions were just or reasonable or not. The important thing is that he is the rule, a kangaroo judge who can decide the fate of anyone at any time.

If there is chaos, let the chaos come more violently. Show your undisguised evil side to the world. Wine, women, fun, indulgence, just want to be happy now. When power is in the hands of a demon, the demon's way of doing things becomes the new order. However, the funny thing is how satisfied the parties were with the order of the devil in the disordered environment at that time.

    Unexpectedly, most of these faces usually seem to be comedy. The evil of mediocrity is the same for everyone.

    Sometimes when you are deceiving with 1 lie, you have to cover it up with 100 lies, then the lie is no longer called a lie, but a fact. The captain once said in the play: They are dead. I think what God was looking at at that time would have said: they were dead.
