Hop Frog's Revenge In Trippeta

336 Words2 Pages

There is an important social issue discussed in the story that is the fact of the social hierarchy, where the king is on top of it and the jester is submitted to the king’s power. In addition, this perk that gets the king for his position, permits him to make whatever he wants with his plebeians.

That in consequence, it evolves to revenge and rage towards the king and his ministers. The reason why this has happened is that he gets truly obsessed with the horrible actions they made on Trippeta and focused on a way to “return the
