In Man in the High Castle’s eighth episode, End of the World, is literally about ending world, especially for John Smith: Obergruppenführer. His son is diagnosed incurable disease from doctor, and after listening the news John Smith has shocked. Even for the cruel Obergruppenführer, son’s sickness is the end of the world.
For the resistances and the Japanese, Juliana and Joe were kidnapped by Nazi, and moreover, Nazi has robbed the film. Film has an important role in getting hegemony, but both of them lost the film. Nobody knows how Nazis will use the film, therefore, for opposite two powers, it is end of the world. Dear Chan, It was the hard day to believe. I thought my son was healthy enough, but he was not. Doctor said that my son will be paralyzed. I told the doctor that it was his mistake, but the reality was unacceptable. Especially, when the doctor gave me the drug for euthanasia, my heart was scattered. Even when John called me due to film, I could not talk properly. It was the end of the world for me. I even sold my country without hesitation for the prosperity of my family. However, now it became useless. For Nazi, I could have sold my soul, but now I do not know what is right or wrong. Merely, I hope my son would be healthy again. I lost my judgement, and I lost the ambition. To me, my family’s wellness was the priority, but in this situation, what can I do? If there is the God, I want to ask him that why do you have to take my son due to my sin. I would rather tell the God to bring me instead. John Smith. I am sympathetic to John Smith because John’s son is innocent. Moreover, even though John is described as cruel in the series, he is also a parent. In Korea, people say “even though I put my children in my eyes, it is not going to be painful,” which means parents can sacrifice for children. As a parent, probably John’s world is already collapsed and scattered. Especially, the pain which he has to kill his son with his hand would be horrible. Therefore, even though he is a villain in this series, I sympathize with him at this episode at least.
