The characterization of current Kratos could motivate us to deal with our past and how we interpret the trauma experience. Atreus, who is trying to overcome his fear and mistakes, determined to improve himself to become a better one than his father, as seen from a scene where they are inside Tyr's temple, Kratos quoted, "The responsibility is far greater.Â
You must be better than me. Understand?" That is formidably an inspiring quote from one of the greatest video game characters. To be human is to improve their skill and to know your limits. You should never apologize by blaming yourself as a central problem for others. Move on and find something what you believe and pass it onto your future-self.
As for Freya and Baldur, they have a complicated family matter where Baldur's death is foretold would lead to Ragnarok, an apocalyptic event in Norse mythology.Â
She cast a magical spell so that no one would harm his son, both physically and magically. This is a curse for Baldur because he can't feel everything. He vows to kill Freya after what she did, but Kratos prevented him. This depicts a death of a child is not something for parent gets over easily. A something parent can understand only, they would die if it's meant to let their children live.
God of War is not an entirely an ordinary interactive video game, it's something more than an artwork. An excellent suggestion for filmmakers who want to develop a deep storyline and creating a stunning visual. A masterpiece at its finest, with an upcoming sequel we hope to get a more exploration and a deeper storytelling, especially for Atreus who revealed himself to be the god of tricksters. Â
