But if he succeeds in facing this antagonist, he will come to realize its antagonism is not personal. Even though its consequences are frightening, it is in fact, a messenger warning the king of changes that must be madeIf the balance of his own and his subjects health is to be maintained. Symbolically, the only way to defeat the cataclysm and protect the kingdom from its threatened apocalypse is for the king to sacrifice himself to restore balance.
