We Must Be Better - The Beautiful Masculinity of Kratos in God of War
Kratos and Atreus from God of War (2018) have two of the best written and most meaningful arcs I have come across in recent years. The way they both strive to connect with each other during their shared journey is portrayed brilliantly, and their many struggles and failings make the triumphant end of their journey that much more satisfying.
Kratos is, on the face of it, an odd choice for discussing virtuous masculinity, since his first trilogy depicts him being exactly the type of monster that no man should ever become. But redemption is possible, even if Kratos doesn’t truly believe that at first, and his pursuit of virtue is an amazing example of how to persevere, to learn to forgive ourselves, and to become better than we once were.
