[quote=@Sisyphus] Nah, but the thing is, the whole rock thing isn't actually a curse, because Sisyphus is still in a sense the master of his own destiny because he is free to choose to push the rock up his hill, and in acknowledging the absurdity of his actions he is able to achieve a higher level of understanding. One must imagine Sisyphus happy, after all. [/quote] #SisyphusDidNothingWrong [quote=@Emma] [@Not Fishing]She'd blame Darius's family, the royals, the war, and her parents. But the tax issue has been around since she was like five so she sees it as normal. She's a peasent girl that doesn't know much about government anyway. [/quote] I'm more curious about how much she actually blames towards Darius himself, considering he would have been very young at the time. And Darius might not come across as sympathetic, due to his cold nature and the fact that he doesn't believe people should apologize or accept responsibility for the actions of their parents/ancestors. He would feel some sympathy; he would just try to avoid showing it.
