The sheer power of Arthur Parnassus returning to the island where he was abused and victimized as a child and instead of burning it to the ground, instead of raging and destroying and turning it to ash and slag as he maybe had a right to do, instead choosing to reopen the orphanage that made him a prisoner. To make it instead a place of healing and a home for the lost, to be for children outcast and alone (like he was) a father and a guide and a protector (like others should have been for him), to make the place where he suffered instead a place of safety and love...the power of that is something more then I can put into words.
Arthur chose to write over his trauma and pain with love and acceptance and warmth. He didn't just chose to not let his past define him but instead he chose to redefine his past. And that makes him one of the strongest characters I've ever read about.
Arthur Parnassus is such a babe
