Netflix recently put out a show called "Thirteen Reasons Why" which is very popular right now. The show is about how the main character, Hannah Baker, committed suicide and released thirteen tapes for the people that lead her to take her own life. This show is interestingly comparable to The Seventh Seal in that the two address death in very different ways. "Thirteen Reasons" talks of death as a means of Hannah getting revenge on the people who wronged her by making them know that it was their fault. The Seventh Seal addresses death as something to be avoided and feared. These two views of death are very different but I wouldn't say that either are right.
What is your view of death? Is it revenge, is it scary, or is it something else?
