The Desire to Live | The Ancient Magus' Bride

[@mllwcrmpmpkn]

I read some comments saying that Shannon drowning her to teach her a life lesson was contradictive. But from my perspective, forcing Chise to drown was a very good way to show her that she does indeed value being alive. I've read that when people jump to their deaths and survive, their first realization is that they regret jumping at all.

[@xKade101]

this is such a great way to show chises transformation throughout the story, in the beginning she would not have cared if she drowned but now she has lived, not just living with elise but lived as a person and she will fight for her life because it is precious to her and she does not want to lose it such a big change from where she was in the first episode.

Eh that's just how historically accurate fairies are

[@joelbrich2538]

@Scott's Precious Little Account I think they were referring to the historical accuracy of the lore of fairies, not claiming they were real. . .

[@davidmacko6309]

For any ppl confused chise wanted to kill herself before like her mother but after meeting elias she had her will to live back thats why she didnt want to die its because of elias

[@bellflowersimp2827]

I was like, Oof- Again?! How many times chise will drown?

[@catharinalangle4890]

Again? Does she drown that often? Poor Chise!

[@fredfry5100]

@@catharinalangle4890 The character Londel was good enough to say so.

[@Yoshinyong]

when your attempt to drown someone fails: "Quick! come up with some philosophical lesson!"

[@michaelliggett1622]

Chise was originally a suicidal nihilist because she had no one that cared for her now she does so she fight back

[@M4gnolia_]

*tries to actively drown chise* “yk im a great doctor”

[@arielfetters5662]

"As a doctor even if you don't want to live I'll make sure you live." The basis for modern medical ethics, and a lot of pointless suffering. Sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is let them go.

[@kaiwolfie7828]

Sometimes but not always

[@Cloverfr]

It depends, in very special cases, however, her point her was that she was to fight and find the will to live for herself because as a doctor she can artificially keep her alive, but that is meaningless without the will to live.

[@miguelangelhernandezsolis7849]

A lot of doctors are against that but legally are obligated

[@Faux_Sunlight]

That's the whole point of the scene, m0ron. Shes testing whether the patient really wants to live. I get what you're saying but you missed the point by a mile.

[@reddragonflyxx657]

If a patient has capacity and decides to refuse treatment, (US) medical ethics organizations say that they can refuse treatment.

[@cigo22]

Proceeds to try and drown her After: I want you to live

[@michaelliggett1622]

Remember chise was a suicidal nihilist who at the beginning had no that cared about her now she does so she fights

[@TenaciousOther]

Boi when I pin her down I'm throwin hands IM (PUNCH) SICK (PUNCH) ALMOST (PUNCH) DIEING (PUNCH)

[@dezzerz1325]

She says she want s to keep her alive.. but.. tries to kill her?

[@nathanielduncan4692]

I know right what the fuck.

[@origamipein18]

Eh. I wouldn't read too much into it.

[@Naev0w0]

she was trying to prove a point to Chise, or more importantly, trying to get Chise to prove something to herself. Remember, Chise is suicidal in the beginning of the show, and remains depressed and struggles with a will to live for the entire show. What is being said here is that even if medicine can keep you alive, you wont get better unless you want to stay alive. Giving up will only lead you to more suffering. After all, you will drown if you don't fight to keep your head above the water. There in the land of the fey especially, you wont heal if you don't want to keep living, keep fighting. Its one of those hard lessons situations. The doctor knows Chise will fight back, she just needs to prove it to herself, so she will realize that her self doubt isn't getting her anywhere. Think of this as a mother bird kicking its chicks out of the nest in order to force them to learn to fly. The mother only wants what is best for the chicks, but she knows that the chick will never take that leap on its own.

[@Naev0w0]

@@nathanielduncan4692 No, you should read into it, never be a passive viewer of entertainment. Read my response to the OP for what it means.

[@dezzerz1325]

Austin Mick I understand now.. thank you!

[@huevos3031]

that's one way of avoiding assault charges, just make it into a life lesson if it fails.

[@JenniferBui]

I had seen all the seasons on Crunchyroll a while back

[@spencersonnefeld]

Apparently Shannon forgot about the hippocratic oath

[@michaelliggett1622]

No she was trying to get her point across to chise remember in the beginning chise was a suicidal nihilist that had no one that cared for her now with elias she does so she prove to herself that she fight to survive she something to fight for

[@pey5571]

Did she just drown her and pretend like it was to teach a lesson? Sounds more like she's backtracking because she survived lol

[@maximumdm9612]

She’s a fey. You can never tell

[@michaelliggett1622]

Chise was a nihilist at the beginning of series she would have just let herself drown because she had no one. None that cared for her but when she met elias she suddenly had people who cared about her the whole drowning was to prove that she now had something to live for something to fight for

[@brendancoulter5761]

Plan A, I get to satisfy my craving for murdering teenage girls Plan B, I act like I was just teaching them a lesson if they survive Either way I am golden.
