Thanks.
A lot about men in this one. The end isnt so much a death of him in the mortal sense but a death of what he had and i guess seppuku is out of contrast but its the suicide throes of a samurai when he dishonours himself. The sword is an almost phallic representation and the kingdom entered is meant in a sexual context. I courted with the idea of using the lady in the lake and lady of shallot but figured enough was said.
I'm not 100% happy with it but it serves as a warning i guess to those who have something good in a woman and cheat on them and themselves.
Conscience is a battle.
