Good analysis and I'm agree.
Teacher is a hypocrite, opportunist trash. While he despise so much the noble for being a sodomite, that doesn't impede him from living, sleeping in the house of debauchery and taking advantage of the frivolous Master. He thinks he's so valable that's only natural for him to be there, ignoring the real reasons why he can get support from Seungho.
People are quick to judge the actions of Seungho ans the nobles, forgetting for the most that at this time, concepts like Democracy and Human Rights or laws/Justice related to these didn't exist yet. Nobles have plenty power on the rest of population.
i love educational comments. it is a little hard for me to let this go because homie took advantage of him when he was drunk. like there’s drunk sex. and then there’s this. but
i understand completely it’s historical so i tend to sweep it under the rug. it’s hard to let go of consensual values but i’m glad this put things into perspective for me
I agree with you! The teacher is a snake. When he was first introduced, I felt that he is not as kind or noble as the uke sees him. He is a wolf in sheep clothing, just uses and manipulates as it benefits him. The seme is upfront about himself, he is crazy but he shows you that’s he is crazy and doesn’t play. With the seme, he can stab someone and that wouldn’t be surprising since it goes with his personality. The teacher is the type that will manipulate and orchestrate a murder while hiding in the background with a smirk on his face. The uke is naive, inexperienced and blinded by his admiration and love for the teacher, is going to take him a while to realize that the devil you know is way better than the devil hiding behind a kind smile.
But forget that he is indeed a homophobic piece of shit (as a previous post mentioned), he thinks that non-nobles are trash (as he told the seme himself) while he supposed to be an open-mind teacher. Also he is ok with himself bending his values (while he think the seme is a deprived unworthy noble he stays there in order to have political power) but he preaches the poor old uke not to draw (really) as if the uke has any means to support or survive without that. At least the seme is honest. He took pity on uke and didn't punish him, he doesn't treat him as a trash because of his heritage and ok, the uke grab him while drunk. He would let this pass? This is not 2019 where we are now learning about respect and consent and ... That is an era that as I have said many times a good horse is more valuable than 10 servants. The noble can kill whoever he wants without penalty. In this historical frame the seme values the uke more than the teacher and the noble fuck-boys
