1. Sometimes in life, one person uses another person to get what they want. D' Artagnan did this to Kitty. Debate wthether it is evil to ask such favors from someone who loves you.
2. Why do people whisper? What did you say on such occasions?
To be answered by 3/31 after reading ch35~ch44(431p) of the three musketeers.
1. If two people truly love one another, I believe it is justifiable to ask each other favors, though not too excessively. On the other hand, if a person is giving fake love to the other person, while the other really loves him or her, I do not think this is morally right. Manipulating, forcing, and faking affection the other just to get information for his or her own good is obviously the wrong thing to do. I guess the affair between d'Artagnan and Kitty comes down to the matter of true love.
However, I do think there are exceptions. In d'Artagnan's case, the events that happened between him and Milady were very serious and had his reputation at stake; in some cases, even his life. If it hadn't been for Kitty, d'Artagnan would have never gathered the information he desperately needed from Milady, and even if he did, would have found it hard to escape from the mansion when Milady found out the truth about his little jest.
Therefore, even though I believe the affairs between d'Artagnan and Kitty would have been unjustifiable without true love, I think it was necessary, considering d'Artagnan's current circumstances.
2. People whisper when they say things which they do not wish to expose to certain people. It usually happens when they dislike a person, when they feel uncomfortable saying it around a certain person, and when they want to communicate secrets between them whether they like the certain person or not. When people whisper to me, I present my answer by shaking my head, whisper back to tell them to be quiet, or just pretend I did not hear the person and ignore him or her.
