Philosophical Implications of Annoying Orange

No.143788 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Annoying Orange is reflective of the corrupted nature of man, let me explain.

So within Annoying Orange, a common motif is the knife motif, which represents death. Now let us relate this to traditional Christian philosophy. The first sin of Adam was a sin that brought about death, for Adam chose to corrupt his nature by eating the forbidden fruit and brought about death for humans.

Now the corruption of man is seen in the fact that the orange is unappealing. As Kong Ji records in the Doctrine of the Mean, man’s way is to be virtuous, which philosophers such as Aristotle regard as beautiful. But the orange is not beautiful, for he is annoying and thus repulsive. This unvirtuous creature, acting on his fallen nature, has thus become ugly, and brings death where he goes.
