Some people are saying he didn’t know killing was wrong….I don’t agree. From this chapter it seems very apparent to me he well aware of his affect on people.
Guwon knows people are afraid of him. He knows people are just “yes and”-ing him because he’s physically undeniably dangerous. He know that people think his mentality is “crazy” and wrong” but no one says or does anything about it.
I’ve said before he’s very much like a child king he’ll do something—anything he thinks is right do if unchallenged. He’s not socially, emotionally, nor logistically intelligent but he will listen if counseled and advised.
I think he values Teach’s bravery and steadfastness where his morals are concerned. He himself doesn’t have those qualities (at least not innately). So when presented with a person who will not only teach him some of these things but actively push back against him I think he’s allured by finding an “equal”.
Guwon has shown many many times he is flagrantly arrogant and I imagine he’ll value the life and thoughts of someone he’s deemed as equal to himself. He’s found that in Teach.
It will be interesting to see how the MC navigates this. It’s a dangerous position he’s in.
