Chapter 2265
Looking at the serious Heimdall, Sif suddenly had a feeling she had never experienced before.
It's hard to describe. It's like suddenly taking off a very heavy set of clothes, feeling completely relaxed, and even the whole world feels lighter!
She didn't know where this feeling came from.
But she really enjoyed this feeling. She never imagined she would one day defeat her own brother. Although Heimdall was her brother, their parents had passed away early, and there was a significant age gap between them, so Heimdall often took on the role of their father.
It cannot be said that Heimdall did not love Sif; on the contrary, Heimdall loved Sif very much.
But Heimdall's way of expressing love was to discipline Sif in the strictest way possible, so that she could move towards what Heimdall considered the best future.
If Sif spent some time on Earth, perhaps she would gain new insights.
That is what is called 'the oppression of women by patriarchal society'!
Those fairies can instantly conjure up thousands of words of short essays based on this.
Sif is too conventional. Despite being a valiant warrior, she's still just an ordinary woman confined by the patriarchal system. Her biggest goal in life is to marry Thor and become the Queen of Asgard... which is essentially no different from women who only want to marry a rich man.
Often, a woman's success is defined by finding a good husband; the more successful the husband, the more successful the woman. Many women, when criticizing others, always mention how outstanding their husbands are. It seems women always have a fallback plan, but that plan is never truly in control of their destiny. Like rolling dice, it could bring happiness or misfortune. In society, women seem to "prefer" low-pressure, easy jobs, leaving high-pressure, challenging work to men. This, in turn, deprives women of many opportunities for self-growth. Choosing the easy path is human nature, and if men were given such temptations, they would find it hard to resist. Their good fortune lies in the fact that they have never been lured down this path. Men often exploit women, stemming from thousands of years of brainwashing: making women believe that caring for the family and children is their duty. This emphasis on family originates from the ancient need for female protection by men, a fear of resources and security deeply ingrained in their genes. Women need to realize that marriage doesn't bring benefits. When women don't need to rely on men for resources, they won't have such a strong desire to marry. Men focus on improving their self-worth, while women, if they only act as housewives, largely just clear obstacles for men to improve themselves. If he's willing to share the fruits of his labor, that's fine, but only temporarily, and still very dangerous. Once he's unwilling to share, you become his obstacle. He'll take away your resources, property, abilities, and even your children.
That's how Sif is; she never sees herself as a general who can stand alone, but rather as an appendage of Thor.
This is not an idea imposed on her by anyone.
Rather, it was the influence of society as a whole that shaped her from the way she was exposed to it since childhood.
Did she choose to become a warrior because of her own preferences, or was it to get along better with Thor?
To be honest, Sif didn't know.
Because she was so young at the time, she just did whatever others did.
There's no question of whether they're willing or not.
After Thor repeatedly sabotaged Sif's self-set goals, Sif became truly confused. She didn't know what she had been pursuing all these years.
You should say you're sad.
This is only natural. Sif has always considered becoming Thor's bride as her life goal, and now that goal is inexplicably about to fail. It's no wonder she's heartbroken.
But it wouldn't be accurate to say that she was only sad.
She was more... confused.
Yes, I'm confused.
When you suddenly lose your life goals, you will also feel lost.
Because you don't know what to do next.
This feeling was awful…it felt like half her life had been a joke. So during that time, Sif left Asgard, frantically searching for the pirate crew storyline. She didn't know what to do…argue with Thor?
To be honest, Sif hadn't studied it.
This concept had never even crossed her mind.
After all, her life has revolved around Thor since she was a child. How to get closer to Thor, how to help Thor fill in the gaps in his knowledge, how to make Thor happy, how to give Thor kind advice, how to be with Thor... it's all about Thor!
She was Tortor her whole life!
It's as if she has nothing and is worthless without Thor.
And the reactions of the other Asgardians reinforced this impression.
Everyone seemed to sympathize with her, even hurling insults at Thor… Yes, Thor was indeed insulted, and it was certainly Thor's fault, so it wasn't surprising he was scolded. Asgardians are rough; don't think the king is immune to criticism. But Sif didn't feel comforted; she only felt annoyed by the noise.
She didn't understand what was going on.
She should be sad, and she really is, but something just doesn't feel right.
Until he met Geer.
When she learned of Gol's plight, she instinctively sided with him, but this was only a choice made out of her own morality. However, when she decided to fight against Asgard with Gol... she suddenly felt a surge of excitement and thrill!
She wanted to rebel against Asgard!
This is actually a form of antagonistic psychology, also called reactionary psychology. It refers to the psychological tendency of people to reduce rather than increase their resistance when external pressure increases, in order to maintain their freedom of action; it's not about compliance but resistance. It reflects a unique relationship between the individual and the objective world, between the individual and others, and between the individual and themselves. Antagonistic psychology doesn't arise spontaneously in people's minds, but rather is a reflection of the contradiction between the subjective and objective worlds. In other words, the basis for antagonistic psychology lies in the contradiction between the subjective and the objective world, that is, the contradiction between individual needs and objective reality. Imagine someone putting a lot of pressure on you to change your attitude, and you become increasingly angry. As a result, you not only refuse to change your attitude but also oppose the person trying to persuade you, accepting the opposite viewpoint. This behavior is what social psychologists call antagonistic psychology—because others want us to act according to their wishes, thereby restricting our personal freedom, we react negatively. Many studies have shown that in such situations, we often do change our attitudes (or behaviors), but in the opposite direction, exactly the opposite of what is imposed on us and what is desired from the outside world—this phenomenon is a reverse change of attitude.
Sif's situation is like a well-behaved child who suddenly doesn't want to be a good child anymore; she wants to do something naughty!
To put it bluntly, she's just going through a rebellious phase!
Rebellion, what exactly is rebellion? In Chinese, this word is often used to describe a psychological state or behavioral manifestation that goes against mainstream or traditional ideas and behavioral patterns.
It may stem from independent thinking or from resistance against oppression or constraint.
"Why?! Sif!!!"
Heimdall didn't understand!
In fact, not only Heimdall, but even Sif herself didn't quite understand.
She just felt that her behavior was...exciting!
Yes, that's what makes it exciting!
"We're just borrowing the Rainbow Bridge... there's no need to get so worked up."
Seeing Sif being questioned, Ger felt a little guilty, so he quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
Heimdall wasn't buying it. Instead, he attributed most of Sif's betrayal to this madman.
"Shut up! It was you, it was you who seduced Sif, wasn't it? What did you say to Sif? What did you deceive her about?!"
Gel was speechless. To be honest, he couldn't believe it himself. He hadn't said anything at all. It was true. He never intended to turn Sif against him from the very beginning... That thing was too high-level. He couldn't handle it at all. He was just chatting with Sif, and then it turned out like this.
However, seeing Heimdall's reaction, Gehr didn't think his explanation was useful.
Looking back, he thinks it's for the best.
After all, Sif will eventually return to Asgard. If he bears all the responsibility, then Sif's guilt will be much less.
So he simply stopped talking.
But he stopped talking, and Sif wouldn't have it.
“He didn’t lie to me. It was all my own choice. In fact, Ger never asked me to help him,” Sif said calmly.
Heimdall was taken aback, then became even angrier.
He felt that Sif had gone mad.
And all of this is the fault of this madman in front of us!
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! What did you say to Sif?!"
Heimdall's view of Gor is like Batman's view of the Joker; the Joker used words to turn a promising prosecutor into Gotham's nightmare—Two-Face!
Two-Face, whose real name is Harvey "Apollo" Dent, was originally the District Attorney of Gotham City. He was an upright and incorruptible man who always tried to eradicate the criminal forces in Gotham City through judicial justice. Therefore, he was deeply loved by the people and was known as the "Light Knight". He was an ally of the "Dark Knight" Batman.
Harvey Dent came from a poor background and developed an instinctive aversion and distrust of high society from a young age. His father suffered from mental illness and frequently abused him as a child. His father's favorite game was flipping a coin, promising that if the coin landed on tails, he wouldn't hit young Dent. These harsh environments led to young Dent also developing mental illness. However, he persevered and became a lawyer, dedicated to upholding law and order, and becoming one of Batman's earliest supporters and allies.
Harvey Dent's transformation from good to bad didn't happen "overnight." He had an extreme aversion to "evil" and an extreme pursuit of "good." His convictions and strength were built on his absolute dependence on and trust in the "system" itself.
Just a quick aside.
One crucial element that cannot be ignored when watching Batman stories is that Gotham City is indeed a place of evil. To broaden the scope, the portrayal of "human depravity" has never been neglected in Batman's narratives; on the contrary, it's a very important aspect. The chaos in Gotham after its isolation in the third film, *The Dark Knight Rises*, is an extreme demonstration of this. The Joker's plan to use the mutual destruction of two cruise ships to expose this depravity and destroy the citizens' self-esteem and humanity was temporarily thwarted, but Bane succeeded—at least temporarily.

End of digression--
Therefore, destroying Harvey is actually quite simple. His beliefs seem strong, and what he relies on is obvious. Correspondingly, his weaknesses/Achilles' heel are also directly exposed—simply destroy his trust in the "system" and his belief in "justice." The Joker accomplished this. By constantly provoking and pushing him, he brought him to the brink of disaster, making him see the massive flaws in the system of Gotham, this sinful place, then wounding him, wounding him again, then losing him again—and then he collapsed.
The Joker was the only one who saw this flaw. He brought chaos to Harvey, making him realize that order is the most useless thing; it brings nothing. It only allows evildoers to continue to go unpunished. Only utter chaos can bring justice!
So everything Harvey had trusted collapsed in an instant.
The Joker handed Harvey the coin and told him that his and Rachel's fates were random, but also relative.
If Batman saves him, then Rachel will die. Conversely, if Batman saves him, then he will die!
Rachel and he were able to be kidnapped precisely because they were betrayed by people in the police department!
The Joker showed Harvey Dent the reality of Gotham City—a rotten city—and brought him down from his idealized throne. Harvey Dent had to accept this reality; he was powerless against Gotham's darkness. He had no right to judge Gotham's sins; he could play with his awesome coin to his heart's content, and Gotham's darkness would arrange his life according to its own whims. So, who could Harvey Dent rely on? Besides Batman, who else? Harvey Dent placed his hopes for justice on Batman; he would never allow Batman to yield. This obsession was also Harvey Dent's greatest pain after Rachel's death—why was Harvey Dent the one who survived? No one told him that Batman subjectively wanted to save Rachel, and the more Commissioner Gordon and Batman emphasized his excellence, the more painful Harvey Dent became. When justice requires weighing values, it's not the justice Harvey Dent seeks. If those deemed less valuable are always sacrificed, Harvey Dent's ultimate fate will be to be a member of the Wayne Mansion banquet. The justice Harvey Dent seeks is pure, yet naive. He's powerless, Gotham's system is unwilling to govern, and even a rational person isn't fair enough. So who has the right to enforce the law, and who has the right to judge? Since individuals are unjust and the system is rotten, he leaves everything to fate. God chose you to live, so live, Joker. Chaos is a pile of garbage, but fate has every right to judge everything.
