Direction: In Dead Men’s Path the priest says” let the hawk perch and let the eagle perch.” Discuss what you think he means and what this saying reveals about him
In Dead Men’s Path, after the incident in which the protagonist closed up the path between school and the place where ancestors are buried for the sake of the clash ideas between religion and an “so called “authentic school, the priest has come to warm him the possible provocation or danger of this act in hope of persuading him to restore the path. However when he insists upon his decision of closing the path, the priest, hopelessly, says “let the hawk perch and let the eagle perch.” This simple phrase not only indicates the result of an conciliating between nature and reality but also reveals priest’s hopelessness
“Let the hawk perch and let the eagle perch.” literally means let the hawk and eagle do whatever they want to do such as perching. In another word, instead of forcing hawks and eagles to hunt or something they do not want, just let them do whatever naturally. In this case, hawks and eagles refer to villagers who are persuaded to leave out their religious and moral values that they had followed for centuries and consider an irreplaceable essence in their life. Therefore, what this priest tries to express is that by depriving the right of villagers to have the access to this path or a spiritual connection to their ancestors without even conciliating with villagers could provoke serious issues, such as manifestation, as has proposed the priest. Desperate the fact that he has closed up the path hoping to create a school of alleviating religion and education, he h
This phrase also reveals priest’s characteristics with a sense of hopelessness, considerableness and pessimism. He is convinced with the idea that it is not rightful to close up the path and will not work out what he expects the ideal school of “the alleviation of school and religion” .Though not necessarily obligatory, as being very considerate, very well acknowledged about the culture of the villager and its possible consequences, he comes to warm him about the possible danger of closing the path.
