thinking about the lord of the night persona as a therapeutic tool for majima to process and cope with his trauma from the hole and his life afterwards. he essentially created a character who will grovel and humiliate himself to no end, who has no pride or dignity, because that is what majima has been doing since '85. but those things are an asset for the lord of the night. he turned what would have been an otherwise impossible-to-recover-from blow to his dignity and self esteem into profits. to regain some modicum of power, some control over his humiliation. calling the lord of the night persona necessary would be an understatement, it was downright lifesaving. and talk about resourceful. my god that man is nothing if not resourceful

#like #i think majimas approach to pride and dignity reveals so much about what he endured in the hole #he was stripped of those things #it wasnt about the pain for him #majima goro #yapping #majeem #majimas greatest asset is his ability to endure pain. it is also his greatest liability #but second only to that is his resourcefulness #i think its almost like a sickness. like. he cant not make use of things. wield them as tools to achieve an end #and he will do this with absolutely anything. his morals stop him from it in most cases but #when it comes to himself and his own pain. nothing is off limits #and that. yknow. helps him as much as it hurts him i think #it disconnects him from his own trauma. its a way of compartmentalizing #but. yknow. necessary for his survival #its just interesting to be able to identify this as his preferred coping mechanism #and all thats to say nothing of mad dog #my analysis #I SUPPOSE
