Analyzing Tokyo Ghoul, I was profoundly captivated by the ever-evolving character of Ken Kaneki and his struggle with power and morality - his transformation from an innocent student to a ruthless half-ghoul. Kaneki's arc beautifully portrays how power and morality, can take an unsettling turn when collided with survival and human instincts.
The various stages of his transformation, as well as the mental soliloquies present throughout, exhibit a matrix of dilemma - power yield and resulting moral choices; questioning his humanity while metamorphosing into an entity he once feared.
One of Kaneki’s most profound dialogues - "It's not the world that's messed up; it's those of us in it. Yes, some ghouls walk a path that leaves sorrow in their wake, but just like humans, we can choose a different path altogether", left me contemplating the blurred lines between good and evil, right and wrong.
Discussing, let's appreciate the moral complexities of this series and dive into the abyss of power dynamics our beloved protagonist faced. Would Kaneki's decisions remain the same if he hadn't turned into a ghoul and instead just remained an observer? And here's another thought - could Kaneki's transformation be viewed as a literal representation of human adaptation in harsh circumstances? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
