Different Points of View: Is Ignorance Bliss?
Is Ignorance Bliss?
Truman’s point of view
I Truman Burbank think that Ignorance is not bliss. Recently, I have just found out that I was trapped in a dome and was a television show. First, I feel like that imprisoning me was inhumane. I think from keeping reality from me is wrong because I was born like any other normal human being but I wasn’t given the same things. Even though I was brought and raised in this dome. Having my wife, my friends, and my parents are wrong because they don’t actually mean what they are saying. People are putting words in their mouths and telling them what to say to me. I was forced to believe that every single place in the world had already been discovered and that I couldn’t leave anywhere I feel that the fact that Chrisof took control of my whole life is wrong. I was the puppet and he was the puppeteer, he was forcing me to do things, for instance when I tried to run away I didn’t let me but instead he set up a lot of obstacles so that I can’t escape. But I cut the puppeteer’s strings by escaping the fake world that I used to live in and went out of the dome. But by doing that I have ruined the so-called ‘Truman Show’. Another thing that made me mad was when Chrisof told the people that I can die in a live audience because I was born in a live audience, but earlier he said ‘I have given Truman the chance to lead a normal life. The world, the place you live in, is the sick place’. He’s saying things that counter the things he said. When he said the world was a sick place I understood him because when he tried to kill me, he did it without hesitation. It meant that he was one of the people that was from the sick world.
Oedipus’s Points of View
I King Oedipus feel that Ignorance is bliss because of many things I have dreadfully found out. One of the reasons why I feel that ignorance is bliss is because the gods were playing with me. I was too shallow to know what was happening. But when the gods showed
