Out of the Silent Planet seminar

In the socratic seminar, they discussed the hross' hunt for the beast and how they value it as their enemy. This highlights C.S. Lewis' idea of the fialure of man because we don't respect or apreciate the contrasts in life like we should. Without negative occurrences in life, there wouldn’t be positive occurrences in life. The beast provides this contrast to the hrossa. Through the hross’ ability to coexist with others illuminates how Man fails at coexisting and working well together. As humans we like to think of happiness and perfection as goals in life, we forget that the obstacles and struggles we face are what allow there to even be happiness.
