Right?! How could they think he was after the money?! It was never about the money for him , not really. He was grateful to being taken care of but he was traumatised and depressed. Even in their relationship, he was absorbed in the depression and you can’t blame him because he was s a and lost his family
Exactly!! He was not in a good mind space at this point, but he really did hope for a better lifestyle with Karel where he could reciprocate his feelings but he's literally sinking into his depression so he became apathetic but he put in the effort to act around Karel so he wouldn't burden or worry him. There is no denying they had a deep relationship in the time that they were together where Karel was somewhat of a lifeboat and a chain to Sasya.
So can you imagine meeting someone you were so close with at one point that you thought to be dead come back alive? Their reunion was just him being relieved to see Karels face again, and all the feelings that were suspended in the air when they had to forcefully part ways came crashing back so you can't blame him for desperately chasing after Karel after so long. Literally he's just happy to see a familiar face from the past alive and in front of him.
So if even after reading this, you reduce his desperation and struggle over the years to him being gold digger, you have not imagined what true debilitating depression or a reunion with a lost close bond could feel like.
Victimize* himself? He literally is a victim You’re most likely the kind of person to victim-blame and say “well she/he asked to be assaulted, shouldn’t have worn that/acted that way”. I pray you never find yourself in a situation where someone (or multiple someones) hurt you over and over again to where you become so depressed that you’re essentially a shell of yourself. Because then, and only then, will you see that mentally unstable people are still worthy of love and that in this story’s case, the mc was in fact a VICTIM of the circumstances, not the villain of the story people with your mindset want to portray him as.
Girl I literally had a whole argument like a month-two months ago with someone here because they claimed to be so intellectual yet failed to grasp the reality of the story. They’d brush off Karel’s toxicity and how he’s the root cause of things turning out how they did yet condemned Sasya for leaving after he went to war without even knowing the full extent of what had happened yet. I tell you, people have selective reading with the lengths they go to to make Sasya out to be this horrible and heinous character.
Well I don't personally care about such things unless i know people if someone really go through that I do feel sorry , but why it gotta be that i have to judged on the basis on fictional story i seriously met many users like this these days and it's tiresome how sensitive people have become to become so indulge in fictional story,to deal with if bunch of you are minors I m outta here you all just want to fight cuz people outside of internet don't give you attention.
If you really wanna say something about depression and my lack of reading comprehension, does it make you curable thing that he sleep around with nobles to get money and later on get cured with that if you indulging so much depression and PTSD from rape and trauma thing is it possible for people to get so much better years later doing what they hated most from thd beginning?
Well, Now I think no one has any answer for my this question, they simply wanna judge and go give depression advice clearly missing point of character's behaviour which is actually rational itself if I m suited to read shallow porn i m actually smart enough to know characters behaviour at least lol ┐(´д`)┌

fuck
