Am I understanding Eren’s predetermined choices correctly?
I keep thinking why doesn’t Eren just change the outcome of things if he knows the future? And yes, I get that he’s always been like that, he wanted it to happen, time is like a loop basically. But it’s always been so hard for me to process that and why it’s so difficult for him to just change the outcomes instead.
However, recently I’ve been comparing it to a scenario in real life, specifically, for example, when a person is on a diet. They want to eat something like a chocolate bar, they know in the future it’s bad and shouldn’t have it, but they to choose to have the chocolate bar out of free will because they just simply want it even though the consequences are just bad. This helped me understand Eren’s choices a bit better, how even though he knows the future and what he does is bad and will have consequences, he just simply wants to do it. What do you guys think of this viewpoint and a way to understand his choices?
