Shoe!Girl │ Rebel Ravie │ Confundus Queen │ RP Addict Elizabeth listened to Vannie's, and then Kayla's, explanation of the story, then raised her hand as well. "The warlock was too proud of himself. He didn't want to appear foolish and weak, and since he saw his friends who had fallen in love as such, that was why he had resolved never to have fallen in love. And the rest of the story also hinges on how much he wants to be seen as better than everyone else. He finds out his servants either pitied him, or thought him as unable to attract anyone, and that is the only reason he decides to find a wife. Because they hurt his pride. And when the maiden he chose as worthy of him didn't immediately fall for him, he feels the need to prove her wrong. Which goes horribly awry, since as soon as he replaces the heart to please her, she goes to him only to have his heart rebel against her love and made him choose to take hers because it was better, killing her. And when his own heart refuses to relinquish its hold on him, he ends up killing himself as well." She took a breath, then continued by saying, "So, in a way, the story tells us that it is better to accept humanity and its inherent 'weaknesses', than fall prey to your pride."
