Silence 2-from oppressor James

Throughout the game of Silent Hill 2, there was a kind of uncertain anxiety that surrounded me. This kind of anxiety does not come from the game plot, but also from the horror of the scene. I think any player who has been in touch with SH2 SHOULD BE ABLE TO intuitively feel their existence. Although it is difficult to analyze it directly, this is the hidden female point of view that allows people to penetrate. In my opinion, through the entire game process, the social roles of male are implicitly and deeply reconstructed in the standalone ridge 2, as a result, there is also the second silent quiet ridge world in the sense of sociology outside the main story. In this line that won't be noticed, konami and Team silent expressed their concern about the situation of women in the post-modern society and proposed their own solutions.

Under the torluca prison's torch, we can see that James Sunderland, the hero, was convicted of oppressor. Simply starting from the game itself to understand this oppressor charge, the player can only draw a far-fetched conclusion from it, it is hard to say that the relationship between the two protagonists James and Mary is not in line with the related descriptions in the game. At this specific level, James's original sin does not come from himself, it is a concentrated reflection of gender and social role conflicts between strong men and disadvantaged women in a strong male society. A common argument in the female movement is that male is the creator of all oppression and they are aggressive and aggressive, adult men are often criticized for being insensitive, unemotional, hard-to-Close, driven by sexual desire, and even male sexual activity is inherently forced.

Through the actual game process, we can know that Mary, the heroine, does not know why she had an unknown disease. This is why her life finally came to an end, and the whole story starts from this. At the beginning, what puzzled me most was that the producer did not give a definite explanation of the cause of the disease, nor did it explain it on any occasions. We only know that James abandoned or killed Mary after Mary got sick. In order to escape, he forgot all his memories. Finally, after receiving a letter from Mary, he rushed to the silent ridge thousands of miles away, the truth about Mary's death was finally discovered. Moral Salvation is the main theme of this story. James has to face his sins before he can be saved. However, James's original sin came from oppressor, which in any case cannot be linked to James's abandonment of Mary. To solve this problem, we must go to the main story of another sociology to find the answer.

it is undeniable that we live in a world of gender discrimination. From the very beginning, some cultures will tell us that men are strong and women are weak. In many cultures, women have been regarded as a symbol of inferiority and cleanliness from the very beginning. They are not allowed to enter churches and temples, nor to show their bodies naked, even the Olympics, which is famous for its openness and fairness, once banned the admission of female audiences. China has Hua Mulan, foreign countries have charity, and it is not uncommon in any culture to become a man's desire to get rid of the weak female identity. A whole set of male stereotypes were created. At the same time, women were inferior to men, and they were born weak. Out of Social survival needs, strong and aggressive forces are forced into male gender roles, just as incompetent and weak forces are forced into female gender roles. It is often seen that the little boy bullied the little girl to make the little girl cry. In many cases, the former is not based on his own subjective will, but the result under the force of the existing cultural model. In children's early experiences, if a little boy refuses to participate in group bullying against a girl, the result will be rejected by other boys, sometimes it is even bullied by women who intrude into gender discrimination. You can only play the role of the oppressed to bully girls. Otherwise, you will be bullied. In children's words, they are moles or moles. In adult words, they are killing or being killed.

Under the influence of the existing cultural model, the social role that men need to become accustomed to is-you are a strong person. You should not be hurt, do not show hurt, do not cry, do not need help, do not ask for help, should not be close to people, should not be fragile. You should not be bullied. At the same time, you must be bullied. Otherwise, you will be bullied. For men, the role of the oppression is essential for survival. Otherwise, you will be more oppressed by the surrounding environment. Similarly, women are under the same pressure and must learn to obey such role arrangements to some extent. Otherwise, they will be subject to greater oppression from the surrounding society. Society gives male a dominant role, while female a passive subordinate role, which further increases the conflict between gender roles. This role arrangement is manifested in various gender discrimination against women. Women are at a very disadvantage in employment opportunities, wages, social freedom, including sexual orientation and sexual freedom. In terms of the relationship with men, the ideal social model is that men economically support women and share their status with women. In return, women treat their husbands as "sages ", handle household chores to ensure that men do not interfere with such "low" chores and fulfill their social roles. Until recently, the role of professional women has never been recognized by the traditional society. The task of women is to be good-looking and loving. Through cultural traditions, social customs, political and economic systems, the social oppression caused by gender roles is further transmitted to all women's social members. Only through different levels of self-sacrifice can women get a compromise with the surrounding environment.

This is the root of Mary. As a symbolic female spokesperson, SH2 is a kind of Humanistic Attention of women on their own situation in Mary. Mary's unknown disease is actually a concentrated manifestation of the awakening of female self-consciousness that has been subject to male oppression for a long time. As long as there are still unequal roles in the existing culture, Mary's disease will never improve. Women sacrifice themselves in this social model, while Mary is suffering from this unknown disease in the game. As a complete set of games, konami can easily choose a set on Mary's head in many medical cases, but it does not. It chooses an Obscure term such as uknow disease, and expresses its worries about the status of women in the traditional social structure.

Another character that has to be mentioned is the mysterious triangle head, which is an important character in the game that concatenates all scenes. What is the main body of the triangle head? What role does it play in the game? It has always been a matter of different opinions and there is no unified answer. I think it's just a matter of saying that the producer is trying to find out, and he can't set his own goals for these chaotic or even self-contradictory games. These are all put aside for the moment. The following content only discusses the role played by the triangle in the main line of this sociology story. Perhaps this is the intent of the producer, and the greatest possibility is to present the diversity of silent mountains.

The first problem to be solved is the origin of the triangle head and its relationship with the hero and heroine.
The figure above shows the West apartment building, which is the first time the triangle head debuted in the game. In the actual game process, James returned to Room 208 in the apartment after hearing a scream, where he found a corpse that was not originally there. The TV was originally closed and the screen was full of blood. After coming out of the room, James found a bloody triangle head at the end of the aisle to isolate the other side of the fence.

With the efforts of a diehard sh fan, we were able to see the true face of the mysterious dead, who were the hero James Sunderland himself. Although konami has repeatedly argued that James's character modeling is only used here, it seems to me that this is an attempt to make a big difference. For Team silent, of course, there are more problems, the better the dispute. The bigger the dispute, the better the dispute. Fans had a dark quarrel here, and the producers kept smiling. In my opinion, this scene is obviously symbolic. It indicates the origin of the triangle header and its relationship with the hero and heroine of the game. Konami has played some tricks here. The first time players play here, they will have the illusion that the triangle head has killed the dead in the chair. This also includes me. However, such an explanation is obviously not satisfactory. Now, starting with this inspiring discovery, everything has been explained successfully.

This scenario aims to show that there is only one theme, that is, the origin of the triangle head, which was born by James Sunderland, the hero we manipulated. The dead on the sofa and the protagonists manipulated by gamers are the same subjects, namely James Sunderland himself, or, in other words, they are two sides of the personality of all male members. The dead who died on the sofa symbolizes the strongest gender role of a male under the cultural role. It is the Women's oppress and eventually leads to Mary's death; A player's manipulated role represents the sensitive side of James's subject. He is uneasy about women's oppression and comes to the lonely ridge with deep thoughts and guilt on Mary. The triangle head is the embodiment of the former under the power of the silent Ridge. It was born by James on the oppressor side and participates in the entire moral salvation topic as part of James's subject. In reality, the entire game process is the process in which James's two men struggle to compete for control of personality. From a more visual point of view, the red blood on the triangle represents the broken amniotic fluid at birth, and the specific cause of death on the sofa should be dystocia.

One of the most intriguing facts around the triangle head is its illogical behavior with some monsters in some occasions. Most of the previous explanations are about the unsatisfactory effect of James's sexual suppression, and they cannot go further. Starting from this new point of view, the messy behavior of the triangle head is not so obscure and hard to understand.

In the closet of Room 307 in West apartment building, James witnessed the inexplicable behavior between the triangle head and two mannequin. James tried to open a gun on the triangle head, but it didn't help. He made his own mistakes until he finished his work. James leaves his triangle and finds a key to another place, and the bodies of two mannequin lying on the ground. This scene is a vivid reproduction of oppressor. The triangle head is integrated with James in the main body. It is the reproduction of powerful male gender roles. mannequin's image should be familiar to all players who have played it, this is a monster composed of two female lower limbs. In this scenario, it refers to Mary, which is also the most primitive and weak side of all female gender roles, and is further oppressed under the strong male role, and eventually lead to the death of the self.

Before the first battle with the triangle head, James once again witnessed the behavior of the triangle head, only this one-time rape object changed from mannequin, composed of two simple female lower limbs, to lying creature, which was hard to recognize by the tights, the violent lying creature is still the final result of escaping death. From the four-legged monster mannequin to the lying creature wrapped in tight clothing, the change in the monster image reflects some changes in women's subject consciousness. From simply and unconsciously accepting oppression to realizing the existence of oppression and then trying to resist oppression, we can see that Mary, the heroine, is also the inevitable Journey for most women. However, the resistance here is meaningless. At this time, neither Mary nor James's self can compete with the overwhelming force of the triangle head that exists as the oppression.

In most cases, the weapons used by the triangle head to attack James and Maria are a spear. Then, if I put it another way, I can regard the spear as a ghost of the male. Here, konami is used to refer to the strong self of the oppressor side. The battle between James and the triangle head can be seen as a battle between two male self. One is the strong self that is produced under the control of the existing cultural model, and the fight against women; the other one wants to return to the real self and restore to the original state and harmonious relationship with women. Maria was stabbed again and again by a spear with a triangle head, and it was a re-occurrence of oppress, just as all female members would be subject to different degrees of oppression from the male community around her. James was not freed from the original sin of his oppressor until he realized the truth of things and woke up.

James learned the truth after reading the video tape left by Mary. In the last memory, he had to fight the male self with the original sin of oppression on the triangle head. If the player can stick to the final stage, the battle will result in two triangles committing suicide with a spear. James then got two important eggs in two dead triangles. After using it to open the door of the hall, James finally saw Mary, his wife who had been dreaming for a long time.

When I first went through this scenario, I felt that two things were very illogical. One was the triangle head's suicide, and the other was the inexplicable prop's two eggs. In particular, this item eggs in the back has no need for its existence. It can be passed directly. Why do we need to make such a superfluous setting? It was not until I began to pay attention to the main line of this humanistic story that these questions came into being.

As the hero of the game, the producer must reflect the Moral Salvation of the player on James. Team silent puts forward its own solution for female's weaknesses, that is, men's self-castrated, remove some of the traits of Gender Roles reinforced by existing cultural patterns that make male the oppressed. Power is a quality of human beings and a part of human nature. Power is both completely female and completely male. It is a common gender of human beings. But the existing culture tells us that a strong one should be male. Once it is reinforced in one gender and disabled in another gender, it is no longer a quality, it has become the consequence of training imposed by a restricted, rewarded, and oppressed society. Oppression and conquest are not the same as power itself, even though many people around us make the same mistake. In the social division of labor, male is assigned the role of supplier, protector, and producer, and is excluded from the role of the support and care provider. Women are the opposite. Being forced to accept the social oppression of women, women are forced to act as victims. This is not due to the nature of women, but to the outcome that people will inevitably produce under the control of the concept of power relations produced by gender discrimination. In many cases, too high expectations of male people are incorrect and harmful. It strengthens the aggressive aspect of male gender roles and further reinforces the oppression of female groups. In turn, too low cultural expectations for women also largely determine the attached position of women in the entire social structure. In fact, if a woman cannot freely choose a way of life, neither a man nor a woman can be freely chosen.

Back in the game, the two unknown eggs are actually the primary object of men's testicles, it is used to represent a strong male gender role created in the traditional cultural model. The death of the triangle leads to the victory of James's self-consciousness. James can only once again see Mary, his long-cherished wife, after removing the strong male who existed as the opaler after self-caressing and eliminating the original sin of his own opaler.
