In the atmosphere of patriarchal supremacy, the most brutal thing is not the blood-stained wedding dress, nor the process of throwing stones to death, but the elated, boiling execution before the whole village.
What a horrific sight it was: the whole village verges on the imminent execution of a woman! People crowded in front of the woman's house, as if waiting for the opening of a grand festival. The men were solemn and solemn, the mayor prayed earnestly, the priest went out in costume, the children rejoiced and collected stones happily along the way, and even the women's children felt that they were participating in the supreme act. Like a kid in another world preparing pumpkin candy for Halloween.
This is a grand event that destroys morality and executes dignity. It's not just the woman's body that was sacrificed under the rubble, and buried together with the moral standards and the dignity of human rights recognized by the general public.
How broad is human nature, or how narrow is it? Under different circumstances, or how fragile and unbearable, those of us may never understand.
