Battle of the "Snakes"

You might notice something about my title for this blog. You might think about snakes like anacondas, pythons, cobras, etc. I won't be talking about these kind of snakes but the "snakes" from the Metal Gear series. (Note: I would emphasize this game on my next game review.)



You might be wondering about the "snakes". What are they?? or Who are they??
There are four "snakes" from the video game series.

1.Naked Snake

2.Solid Snake


3.Liquid Snake


4.Solidus Snake

For this blog entry about structuralism, I'm going to talk about Solid Snake and Liquid Snake. You might be wondering why I chose these 2 snakes. Well, Solid Snake and Liquid Snake are clones of Naked Snake. Same goes to Solidus Snake. Solid and Liquid has a huge rivalry. Solid is the protagonist while Liquid is the antagonist.
Their rivalry started in "Metal Gear Solid". Liquid resembles Snake in terms of facial appearance and physique coz they are clones. One of Liquid's motivations is his hatred towards Solid Snake, as Liquid believes that Solid received all of Naked Snake's superior genes, and that he, Liquid, was destined to be inferior. It is revealed after the credits, that Liquid was intentionally deceived in order to drive him to carry on Naked Snake's legacy. This is in line with the game's interpretation of the nature versus nurture debate. As the greater experience that Solid has on the battlefield enables him to defeat Liquid, despite his supposed "genetic superiority" and his personal grudge with Solid, due to him thinking Solid is in fact the superior one. Their rivalry ended in Metal Gear Solid 4 when Solid finally defeats Liquid via CQC (Close-Quarters Combat). The CQC battle between the two is very memorable and climatic because its show flashbacks between the two brothers during the battle. This emphasizes the the huge clash between the twin brothers.
