I think that before the eclipse griffith could and did love. The fact that one of the godhand said his tears would be wiped clean is proof enough to me that he had human emotions just like everyone else.
The catch is he had been fighting with his emotions for so long trying to control them and...
First I just want to say I really enjoyed the arguments/debate in this thread. One of the reasons I love berserk is because of the complex moral and philosophical issues it brings up. I love the way you can see an evolution of the characters views as well just like people's views on these...
Also when people think of griffith it seems like they tend to get tunnel vision sometimes. Griffith definitely cared about who he "stepped on" to achieve his dreams. He struggled with it much more than guts did in the golden age. Don't forget the flashback to griffith scratching himself in...

See the funny thing is as I was following the story for the first time a long time ago. The whole time I admired griffith and thought he was making the right decisions......then all of a sudden he killed all the hawks....and I was shocked.....but still couldn't deny that it seemed like the...
When I first started following berserk I admired and identified with griffith more than guts.
Looking at the story from Griffith's point of view we have a man born with at the lowest social class who looks at the life and power that the royalty and aristocrats have and makes it his goal to reach...
