How cruel and unjust was that enchantress?

Posted by unhostedproductions

She put a curse on not only the king, but an entire palace of innocent men, women, and children. Scores of people punished for the transgression of one man, despite the fact that they were decent, kind, hospitable people. That witch obviously didn't expect the curse to be lifted, and thus had no qualms about letting all those perfectly gracious - and faultless - people remain cursed for eternity. All because one man was a jerk to her.

Maybe I'm over-thinking it, but that's one thing that has always bothered me.

Does your society have any other adjectives besides "great"?

The servants didn't deserve it, sure but you can't call her a psychopath who enjoys hurting people. A lesson had to be learnt and it was and it was for the better.

It is horrible that everyone was pulled under the enchantment but the Beast would not have changed if it hadn't happened and would of been worse and more nasty and selfish as ever.

No, actually, I wouldn't want that, either. A lawless, justiceless society is actually even worse, as shown by what was going on with the Occupy Wall Street groups and how they acted towards everyone, or what the Joker attempted to do with society in The Dark Knight.

the only emotion that justice and punishments and laws are derived from is hate and sadism


Really, you would like a lawless, justice-less society? Laws that, say, regulate food safety are sadistic?
