Tobias Snape.
In HP, he's a minor character, and in almost every fanfic he's reviled beyond belief.
But Fey believes that everything anyone does is complicated.
What, exactly, lies behind Tobias's tragedy? Here is the story of his life, the parts no one knows.
Tobias Snape is the protagonist of this story.
It's a short-to-medium-length work, but Fey put a lot of thought into it. There are plenty of hints, and you'll find surprises if you read carefully.
Also, although it's a tragedy, it's genuinely not angsty! Fey has a strong sense of decency when writing, and has cut out all that angst stuff. Still, there's a faint sadness throughout.
Major revisions complete! A few plot details have changed, such as the way Tobias was beaten, how Eileen died, and Tobias's birthday. It feels less amateurish now that it's been revised.
Theme:
An article written by a wife mentioned that she referred to this article. I read this article after reading that article. The moment the plots of the two articles came into contact, I thought the plot would become better along the lines of that article, but in the end I realized that this was the unchangeable past in the dust and mud.
An author who can write articles that people can read is a good author. This is a bit cliché, but to me, a layman, it is really the case. This article not only made me want to read on, it made me want to read it several more times. The language is very simple, but it is very touching. The author also said that it is not abusive, but I cried twice in the middle, once when Irene was beaten for the first time, and once when Tobias died. The former is because he is unable to do anything when he sees a certain tragedy about to happen, and the latter is probably because poor Tobias, a confused person, finally understood before he died. Regarding Irene, when I first heard about her experience in the original work, I couldn't understand it. What kind of love could allow her to endure the violence that she and her son lived with every day, endure the trampling of her human dignity and still never leave that man. There is a hint from this article. Perhaps when she was betting on her family and her identity as a wizard, she did not allow herself to lose. As long as she persisted, she would be the winner! I even felt that in the end she didn't care about little Severus' life or death nor Tobia's change of heart. She was just waiting for a result, a result in which she was declared the winner. Regarding Tobias, let me paraphrase someone else's words: "A man who beats his wife and children is not even a scumbag, he is just a scumbag." Fey's article makes this character fuller, a cowardly poor man, a cowardly poor man who doesn't know what he should cherish and what he really wants until the end. The cowardly poor man is used to blaming others for his mistakes. I never learned the word "responsibility" until I died. Regarding Severus, the tragic hero can always make girls fall in love, and I am no exception. Maybe I should also add the motherly feeling (⊙⊙bhan) not for his affection, but for his sense of responsibility, his forbearance, his talent, and his perseverance. He is like an ancient castle that has stood for thousands of years. After years of polishing, it may be gloomy but unmoving, a milestone-like existence. To a certain extent, my respect for him has led me to the other extreme. His indifference, cruelty, selfishness, and partiality are all deserved. Others deserve to suffer, because this is what life has taught him, and this is what his life owes him! Okay, okay, this is a bit extreme. Should Fey consider writing a long professorial article~~As long as it guarantees HE, I will pursue it~ (Star Eyes~~)
Everything else is fine... But I don't think Snape would kill his father. If he really had this cruelty, he wouldn't be a tragedy his whole life. His tragedy is that he doesn't want to completely give up his left and right hands, and he spends his whole life wandering at the crossroads of destiny.
After reading it, I felt very uncomfortable Tobias was a coward. He didn't dare to say love when he was in love, and he didn't dare to refuse when he was hateful. The good, bad, wanted, unwanted, loved, and hated were all mixed together into a dark, sticky chronic poison that suffocated him to death. Tobia is also a bastard. Regardless of whether you love him or not, you are married if you marry him. A man who beats women, tsk~ [Please read it in the professor's usual tone] Sia is a fool who ruined herself for a man who dared not say she loved her. If Tobia loves her, then marrying a fat man who doesn't love her will only cause mental torture to all three parties at the same time. If Tobia doesn't love her, isn't her behavior self-torture? But at least, West Asia's marriage to a fat man has made herself and her mother much more financially comfortable. After all, poor people are not qualified to talk about love, and West Asia, who married a fat man and gave birth to two children, is not necessarily unhappy. By the way, the fried egg that stabbed Sia reminded me of the professor's words about mudblood. Do all men in the Snape family encounter such a sensitive and unfavorable relationship? Then Eileen expressed that she didn't understand what she was thinking, and even after reading the postscript, she still didn't understand. Even though the two of them had nothing in common, why did Irene fall so completely in love with Tobias? And left the family for him. In other words, it should be that Irene wanted to leave the family and happened to remember Tobia, whom she had a chance encounter with, so she came to him? It's a pity that Eileen, who was able to say that we will die together at the beginning, was eventually worn away by life and her husband's indifference and abuse, and lost all her edges. That handkerchief always seemed to be a metaphor for Irene's life. At first, there were dark lines of Prince, but after meeting Tobia, the word Prince disappeared first, implying that Irene broke away from Prince, and then was crushed under the bed, suggesting that Irene was discovered by life. It was oppressed by reality, and finally turned into a tattered white cloth with "a small half of it had been chewed and looked very hideous". It also had a musty smell, hinting at Irene's ending... ╮(╯_╰)╭But how could it not be a metaphor for this inexplicable love? Um, I've posted it on the post bar, let's post it again here. Remember to comment to increase popularity.
It seems that the story from another perspective is very strange~ In class, the teacher said that unemployment will lead to domestic violence. I immediately thought of him. Could the tragedy of the Snape family also stem from an unloving marriage?
Abuse... I can feel the author's thinking behind this article. These people in the article are fatefully involved and irrevocably damaged. They must be torturing each other, but they are already like a mess and can't get out of it
"He obviously didn't want to say one more word to an unconscious enemy, but he paused and said hoarsely, "I have been in her room." I think I pissed my mother off to death. "Big fried chicken! But, to be honest, I can't understand this passage?" What does this mean, author?
It seems that I misunderstood him, or it was because of the misunderstanding that it happened.
Ah, a long sigh. Jpg
Not abusive, just angry
