The premise of Attack on Titan is salient yet, to an extent, unintelligible. The show owes its complexity to its seasonal nature; with each new season, the dimension of the storyline widens unpredictably.
Effectively, new revelations are exuded about characters regarding their motives and intents. The anime has many different personality traits, and how they vary in other circumstances.
Eren Yeager, the recalcitrant protagonist of the show, can certainly vouch for that. When the first episode commenced, he was a passionate boy who had a loathing for the ways of the humans inside the walls and their propensity to live in the constant fear of Titans.
As the show proceeds to the moment where the first invasion of the Titans occurs and consequently ends up in the palpable devour of Eren’s mother, he gets repleted with a pang of hatred for the Titans and vows to exterminate them.
Ironically, Eren ends up being a Titan himself to satisfy his ends. This anecdote from the anime gives us an insight into the conflicting nature of human conduct, where we scrutinize a particular ideology keeping aside the objectivity of our emotions, but once that ideology begins to serve our motives, we get succumbed to it.
One thing that I One thing I like about the anime is the showcase of morality in all its hues and shades. Eren Yeager may have shown to be the protagonist, but he is not really the flag bearer of morality. The way he acts is the way any human would act after being thrown under the bus of trauma.
