But, Theo‘s life instinct (Eros) is much better in the context of empowering. Theo as a flawed and selfish character is given with a strong decency. This is why people around him give non-stop attention and love. Thus, this situation changes Theo‘s way of think and brought him into Self – Forgiving.
