Reader’s Question:
What kind of meat are carnivores eating in Beastars? Is it possible that it’s human meat?
Exploring the Carnivore’s Dilemma in Beastars
As I sit here, sipping my coffee and contemplating the intriguing world of Beastars, I can’t help but reflect on the complex dynamics of carnivores and herbivores. In
the series, it’s clear that the carnivores face a moral struggle when it comes to their dietary choices. The question posed about whether they might consume human meat is particularly thought-provoking, especially considering that the world of Beastars is entirely devoid of humans. From my perspective as a legal expert, it’s fascinating to consider the implications of their society’s laws and taboos. The consumption of meat, particularly that of herbivores, is deemed a taboo within this universe. Yet, the existence of the black market—where carnivores procure dead herbivores for sustenance—raises intriguing questions about legality, ethics, and social norms.
A Glimpse into the Black Market
Imagine wandering through a dimly lit alley, where the faint sounds of whispers and rustling can be heard. It’s almost like stepping into a different world, where the rules of nature and society clash. The carnivores, unable to suppress their instincts, often turn to these underground markets. It’s almost reminiscent of a noir film, where the line between right and wrong blurs dramatically. I remember a particularly lively discussion with some friends over a few snacks—yes, I may have indulged a little too much in those delightful cookies! We laughed about how absurdly serious the characters take their dietary restrictions. It’s almost comical to think about a wolf or a lion sneaking around to get a taste of forbidden meat. The idea that they might be munching on the very embodiment of their instincts, while simultaneously wrestling with their moral compass, is a striking contradiction that makes for compelling storytelling.
Reflections on Morality and Instinct
What struck me most, however, is the emotional weight behind these interactions. The carnivores are not just characters; they embody a deeper struggle that many of us can relate to. How often do we grapple with our instincts versus societal expectations? In our lives, we might find ourselves in situations where we have to suppress a part of ourselves to fit into a certain mold or expectation, and that’s a theme that resonates universally. It’s this blend of humor, drama, and moral questioning that makes Beastars such a rich narrative. I find it amusing and poignant at the same time, as I reflect on my own life and the occasional struggle between my desires and societal norms.
