I totally get you. Also every one follows the rules. Everyone KNOWS the rules and consequences. If you let one person go, they'll be another, and another and eventually why even have rules if you keep making exceptions?
I kinda agree, there should be punishment and yes rules are often there for a reason (except discriminating rules etc) but the punishment needs to mirror the sin..getting beaten to death with a baseball bat is just brutalizing who tried to protect or save his child. Maybe he could have gotten his rations halfed for a month to make up for the stealing or getting double workload + a physical punishment idk...I'm not a judge from a post apocalyptic world, so hard to say xD
Definitely. But as was explained the "hounds" basically the people who had been keeping everyone alive, sheltered, and fed had died due to low medical supplies. There's very limited quantities. The drugs aren't being manufactured anymore, the survivors are expendable the medication and hounds are not. Unfortunately, dad knew this. Definitely us as a society right now would deem it brutal and morally wrong to punish someone with death just because of a crime like stealing. But to them it's akin to him saying he doesn't care if someone else dies as long as his kid lived.
The children are the future of the village. They're equally important as the hounds imo. If the children die, then they hounds have nothing to protect
It's unfortunate but they do not see it that way. As kids have fevers all the time and the kid was in no danger. But Dad was scared and committed a crime. Hence they only punished the father and the kid was not implicated. They are only punishing him for the crime, his reason unfortunately did not matter.
I feel like the comment section misses the point. Guwon isn't a "psycho" in the traditional sense, the way he punishes himself first and cries and seems genuinely surprised when teach hits him....idk...Guwon looks to me like someone who was Indoctrinated with those rules. He is very...innocent(?)...I don't have a better word and seems to learn things still...idk...he isn't just a psycho...he had probably a different upbringing, so he acts that way because that's all he knows.
