couldnt help my self
lets deconstruct this scene.
the two people's original condition is that of status quo or laissez faire....in that they are already secure in everything. everything is understood. Everything is at peace.
Then, they are approached by a person preaching heresy, "Did you hear..." Note: A preacher doesn't have to believe what they are preaching.
It is heresy because in the world of the two original men, such "facts" that a magical baby could be birthed is false.
Interestingly and confusingly it is also hearsay, an account of facts relayed. The preacher is spreading information he heard, and did not first hand experience.
Moving on, we see the guy in the middle get angry first, draw weapon first, and stab the preacher first.
Then, he is stabbed in the back by the man who originally introduced himself as someone who liked him and had nothing against. It appears he is defending the preacher.
This allows the preacher time to rebound and deliver a stab to the chest of the man in the middle.
The scene concludes with
1.) the preacher delivering the final blow to the man in the middle
2) the defender of the preacher delivering his last, only, and terminating strike to the preacher
3) the supporter finally dying under the weight of both the preacher he was defending and the "defender of the status quo."
Quite a brilliant bit of writing. Thank you for sharing.
