The Betrayal

I had a hard time interpreting this story. Essentially, a man and a woman decide to have a child, who then for a time raise him and tell him "You will cross continents and meet many people. Tell them what we taught you. Rebuild the cities destroyed by violence and oppression." It is as if the child's parents want him to be some sort of Messiah or God. Unfortunately, the child travels far and wide taking in all of the spectacles he sees, but he never quite develops into a hero. Instead he feels "cut off from others" and "anguish was wrecking his life. It broke his spirit and stripped him of his strength." This continues until one day the young man falls in love with a woman who is completely oblivious to the feelings of love that he has for her. Then the young man drugs the woman, waits until she passes out, and rapes and impregnates her. The story ends violently with what seems like Armageddon.
