setting: one Europian authoritarian counry in the old days in which freedom of speech is not allowed
conflict: boy vs authoritarian society
the boy can't make the people around him to admit the exsistence of the mermeid
symbol: mermaid...imagination because all people around the boy never admit mermaid
ocean...freedom because in the ocean, the boy and mermaid can swim together delightfully
without obstacle
climax: The boy become merman and live with the mermaid in the ocean. He never come back to the
human world.
irony: sometimes the boy cannot see the mermaid after telling the existence of her to the people
theme: "we tend to eliminate the people or thought that have bad influence on us"
The man is dangerous to authoritarian society because if the government allow one's
free insistence, everyone would start asserting their freedome thinking. Government fears that
citizens don't obey them.
