To establish commonly known facts, The argument Yasu is trying to lay ground to throughout the story is illogical. She is trying to create a non-existent character, like an actor who plays the part of a certain fictional symbol, but she wants to be separated from the actor -
- and be accepted as the fictional role in its entirety. Bernkastel posed a question: Who Killed Beatrice? Lion thought this referred to the dead body of Beatrice, and then realized it was about the character named Beatrice, and the actor behind the character.
This was supposed to be the answer, but it's not according to Willard, as the realm harboring the mystery is composed of two intertwining stories. One story is about the Actor (Yasu) who created and killed the Beatrice character, and the other story is told in terms of causality
Through the birth and creation of Lion, Yasu was never able to be born, so indirectly Lion caused Beatrice to cease existing altogether in his realm. According to the phone example, Bernkastel is not asking about the telephone (the vessel of the voice) but the voice itself.
Beatrice is in actuality a concept or a voice, if willard did not use this example, you would have stayed thinking about the vessel of Yasu & Lion, but the true mystery is the character or the concept of Beatrice, not the vessel holding her voice (the telephone).
In Short, The Mystery is Composed of: Problem 1 (Acting) Yasu as a telephone and Beatrice as a voice, and Problem 2 (Causality) Lion as a telephone with a voice prevents beatrice from being born all together, its contradictory but in requiem both can be witnessed together.
That’s because according to Willard, they are living in a quantum world where the dead cat and the living cat can be alive at the same time. That means there are two problems or routes of birth for the character named Beatrice, defined by history and outside circumstances.
The Writing of Beatrice’s character is closely related to the experiences that shaped her birth. Her personality is adopted from her upbringing, and that’s why we take a lot of care in studying the environment and education of Lion & Clair, and how it shaped who they are now.
By removing the corpse (the vessel or the telephone) we are released from the constraints of thinking, and are able to witness the voices of people as they truly are, and particularly how love can shape them, and how their true heart can become a victim of circumstances.
Battler is trying to instruct his sister to surround herself with love, even if the vessels of her family die, she is still able to listen to their voices, the good and the bad, and by disregarding her own vessel (shaped by a harsh truth) she can discover the good in her soul.
All of these loving versions will never become obsolete if the cat box is opened, no one will think about the environment that shaped their decisions, or the good deeds and the hardships they endured, and will only take results at face value, disregarding the complete process.
Every person has a true heart that is capable of love, and the first one to follow this example is Yasu. She was not a murderer in every world, she was just a normal person, pushed to her end by a history of conflict and bad karma into becoming the Evil witch persona.
Battler is asking Ange not to listen to any outside influence, and try to perceive the true heart of each one of them, which can only happen if we kill the vessels, therefore releasing a number of voices that needs to be heard, or different parallel good versions of each of them
Do not lock yourself into the vessel that resulted from the bad karma and choices of each of them, and expand your mind about how their motives were created. We maybe are "many" different people.. possibilities ... Vessels .. voices ... But we can be "one" in the name of "love"
It's a philosophical play on the quantum state of things so you can expand your perception.
In escaping or curing fate, you are choking yourself, instead of standing up and choosing a life for yourself, you rob yourself of all the power left to put a struggle against fate.
In escaping or curing fate, you are choking yourself, instead of standing up and choosing a life for yourself, you rob yourself of all the power left to put a struggle against fate.
You are like a spider, caught in the web of obligation and misfortune, but through releasing these shackles of hate and karma, you get out of your cocoon and become a golden butterfly, flying freely in the sky, free from obligation.
It was all destined, it is not a single person’s fault, please understand Ange, and don’t become like them, and neglect the choices they were unable to see. Each one of magical events is based on real moments and decisions where they were able to fight their hardships-
-and choose love, forgiveness and regret. The fact you are here ange, and that you are alive to this day, speaks volumes about the choices they made, even though they were bad people, they loved you from the bottom of their hearts, and that’s why you are here now.
I don’t exist in your future, but I will always be behind you, protecting you, because I wish for your happiness, together with all the others. If everyone hadn't been tied down by such shackles, we could have all smiled like that, their feelings are real
I am sorry for not being able to go home, whatever kind of ending you decide to weave, we are always at your side. I won't let this game created from the truth of everyone's hearts ever be denied.
Smash the webs of fate Ange-Beatrice, the golden witch of the future, and become a golden butterfly, flying happily in the sky. We are always together..forever.
Also in this analogy, we gain a closer perspective on the title of Beatrice analogy, and how its just a personification of a set of circumstances/rules. By making parallels between Ange & Yasu, Battler is able to define and defeat the rules of beatrice' living reincarnation Ange.
You can't save the original Beatrice, but you can use her teachings, her wishes to instruct the living on how they should avoid becoming like her, therefore giving her life meaning, and stopping the chain of ill fate, the one wish she truly wanted with all her heart.
Because the land of dead you arrive at when turning and running from reality, has neither happiness nor future. Isn't that similar to what i did, so live now and grasp your happiness Ange ... Ange-Beatrice, The Golden Witch of The Future, and My dear family.
Beatrice is a personification of the rules, this is the most important hint in understanding the creation of Beatrice. Unless we address all factors that went into shaping the existence named Beatrice, we cannot truly win against her, personified in all her titles & history.
Beatrice doesn't just act as a character foil to everyone for thematic purposes, dissecting her character is an applied requirement that needs considerable effort in the story to actually deal with. The title of Beatrice hold such an unimaginable weight on infinite levels.
This is the final game that i am bestowing upon Ange, written with the gold. If you the reader, trust in the fact that this game, these values are written for you, and were able to learn the value of life, through a shared untold agreement with the author, you will see the love.
Right here, they are all alive! I can never abandon this! As long as i live in the future, they will always be with me! I am the Golden Witch Ange-Beatrice, My titles are Golden, Endless and Witch of Resurrection, the powers bestowed upon Ange by inheriting the name Beatrice.
