We would guarantee them that they will stay alive having done so.

Roman Republic.

In the Roman Republic, Parasite was the only offense punishable by death.

Really?

The only capital offense was Parasite.

Not even murder.

So this was during the Roman Empire.

And take, for example, the stories of the Green Brothers from Hansel and Gretel.

Hansel and Gretel are twice abandoned by their mother.

And rescued by the father, they actually gravitate towards the father's cabin.

That's how they come across the witch and her sweet gingerbread home and what have you.

And so the Grimm brothers captured this dilemma of this conflict, incipient conflict between children and their parents.

The Grimm brothers did not illustrate the family as this ideal environment or idyllic environment, but they actually depicted the family as a kind of a fight club environment.

or an arena where children contest the parents, parents abandon children to die, witches intervene in some ways, and then the children kill the witch.

The witch is also a maternal figure, if you have a close look at it, because she offers shelter, she offers food, and so on.

Then the father is remote, and you have to work very hard to get to the father.
