The Poetic Justice Zone
In the episode of The Twilight Zone that we saw I found poetic justice to be greatly reflected. First, the two characters were soldiers from different sides of the war. When I realized that they had been in the war that meant that they had gone through many tough things in the war. Since I was searching for poetic justice I thought that when they were going to meet it would be a happy and good moment because the war had already ended. What happened was the complete opposite they had a fight over the little food they found. When I saw them fight I had to stop and think for a moment what was happening. As I did this I started to imagine that I had been in a war and after seeing many of my friends and fellow countrymen die under the hands of a person that I had in front I would have probably reacted the same way as the women did. Gradually they start understanding each other more and cooperating with each other. Finally when it seems that finally after all that suffering there would be poetic justice another event that disturbs the peace happens. As the woman enters to change in the recruiting office she sees all the propaganda the enemy has used to get people to fight. This gets her angry and she shoots the man that was waiting for her outside. The man barely misses the shot and goes away. After this it seemed as if the poetic justice they were long waiting for had suddenly been destroyed but the women being sorry goes to the place where the man is dressed in the dress he told her to put on. After this the poetic justice they deserved happened. They fell in love with each other that is the poetic justice of war since war is all generated and operated by hate.
