#i will not read people takes on hanji

hanji wanted to live but in a world in peace and with no conflict. that is why them wanting to escape from their responsibilities was portrayed as something negative and the reason why they were so embarassed at their own words when called out. that is NOT what hanji wanted. taking hanji’s moment of weakness as the character’s “true desires” means you don’t like what the character originally stands for (wanting a bright future for everyone).  

the last scene of chapter 132 is still ambiguous. but if hanji “real desire” was to live hiding in a house in the forest, don’t you think that is what the character would have hallucinated instead? but no, they just wanted to see their old friends again.

for people who claim to understand the character so much, they truly miss the point what hanji believed. a person who never hated anyone regardless of their circumstances, still killed and stained their beliefs but managed to own their mistakes and take accountability. even if that meant losing their own life. everyone should learn from hanji.
