The human eye is a remarkable organ that allows us to see and experience the world around us. It is a gift that many of us take for granted, but it is also a curse that can bring about many challenges and difficulties. On the one hand, the gift of sight enables us to appreciate the beauty of nature, the wonders of art, and the faces of our loved ones. Our eyes allow us to navigate through the world, to read, to learn, and to communicate with others. They are the windows through which we perceive the world, and without them, life would be drastically different. However, with the gift of sight also comes the curse of vulnerability.
Martin : Do you think l speak the truth? Karin : l don't know. Martin : Don't you think l love you? Karin : Yes, l do. Martin : lsn't that enough? Karin : Of course it's enough.
Danny - In the beginning of the episode he knows that it s not right what he s allowing Isaac to do and he knows that he ll repeat past mistakes so instead he snitches on Isaac allowing him his freedom. Although I don t believe the film is suggesting that any sort of magic is being practised, the circle of protection is used as a metaphor for the mental walls created by Karin in her slow retreat from reality.
However, with the gift of sight also comes the curse of vulnerability. Our eyes are delicate and can easily be harmed or damaged. Eye diseases and conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration can rob us of our vision and greatly impact our quality of life.
Harriet Andersson: Karin, daughter
David : We draw a magic circle and shut out everything that doesn't agree with our secret games. Each time life breaks the circle, the games turn grey and ridiculous. Then we draw a new circle and build a new defense. Karin : Poor little daddy. David : Yes, poor little daddy, forced to live in reality.
Karin : It's so horrible to see your own confusion and understand it.Fredrik : I'm an artist. Karin : Artist? Fredrik : Yes, Princess, a thoroughbred artist: a poet with no poems, a painter with no pictures, a musician with no music. I despise ready. made art, the banal result of vulgar effort. My life is my work and dedicated to my love for you.
Karin : Funny, you always say and do the very right thing. and it's always wrong.Fredrik : Hey! Be careful now. Keep away from me. Stop hugging and kissing me. Stop sunbathing half naked. You disgust me. You know very well what I mean. Women are horrible. How they smell and move around, how they stick out their stomachs, how they comb their hair and talk. Makes me feel like a skinned rabbit! Karin : Poor boy. Fredrik : Thanks. I can give myself all the pity I want.
Karin : l must choose between him and the others. l've made up my mind. l've sacrificed Martin. Fredrik : ls all this for real? Karin : l don't know. l'm caught in the middle, and sometimes l'm uncertain. l know l've been ill and that my illness was like a dream. But these are no dreams. They must be real. They must be real. Fredrik : They're not real for me, not in the least. Karin. They're not real for me.
Martin : Do you think l speak the truth? Karin : l don't know. Martin : Don't you think l love you? Karin : Yes, l do. Martin : lsn't that enough? Karin : Of course it's enough.
Karin : A god steps down from the mountain. He walks through the dark forest. There are wild beasts everywhere in the silent darkness. lt must be real. l'm not dreaming. l'm telling the truth. Now l'm in one world, now in the other. l can't stop it.
Karin : l enter a large room. lt's bright and peaceful. People are moving back and forth. Some of them talk to me and l understand them. lt's so nice, and l feel safe. ln some of their faces there's a shining light. Everyone is waiting for him to come, but no one is anxious. They say that l can be there when it happens. Fredrik : Why are you crying? Karin : lt's nothing. Nothing to worry about. But, sometimes l have this intense yearning. l long for that moment. when the door will open, and all the faces will turn to him. Fredrik : Who is coming? Karin : No one has said for certain. But l think it's God who will reveal himself to us. That it will be him coming into the room through that door.
Karin : l can't live in two worlds. l have to choose. l can't keep going back and forth between one and the other. lt can't go on. David : What? Karin : The hatred. David : What hatred?
Karin : l was frightened. The door opened. But the god that came out was a spider. He came towards me, and l saw his face. lt was a terrible, stony face. He crawled up and tried to force himself into me but l defended myself. The whole time l saw his eyes. They were cold and calm. When he couldn't penetrate me, he continued up my chest, up onto my face and on up the wall. l have seen God.
Fredrik : [during the play] l face the moment of ultimate perfection. l tremble with anticipation. Oblivion shall own me and death alone shall love me. l will go. Nothing can stop me. Karin : l am waiting. Fredrik : Ye devils, what am l about to do? Sacrifice my life? For what? For eternity? For the perfect work of art? For love? Have l gone mad? Karin : l am waiting. Fredrik : Who shall see my sacrifice? Death. Who shall gauge the depth of my love? A ghost. And who shall thank me? Eternity. Karin : l am waiting.
Overall another solid episode.
Moreover, our eyes are constantly exposed to potential dangers such as bright lights, harmful chemicals, and foreign objects. One moment of carelessness can lead to irreversible consequences. Furthermore, our eyes are not immune to the effects of aging. As we grow older, our vision may deteriorate, leading to the use of corrective lenses or even blindness. The loss of vision can be devastating, as it limits our independence and our ability to do everyday tasks. The curse of the human eye also extends to the emotional impact of what we see. Our eyes reveal our emotions and can betray our inner thoughts. They can be a reflection of sadness, heartbreak, or fear. We cannot hide our true feelings from others, as our eyes often give us away. This can be a burden, as we may feel exposed or vulnerable, unable to hide behind a façade. In conclusion, the gift of sight is a remarkable ability that allows us to experience the world in all its beauty. However, it also brings with it the curse of vulnerability, as the human eye is easily damaged, subject to the effects of aging, and can reveal our deepest emotions. It is important to appreciate and take care of this precious gift, as it is something that many people do not have the privilege of experiencing..
