Bird of Prey

To elaborate on some of the issues that I had presented in class concerning the bird of prey metaphor; one subject being the issue strength. The Bird of prey I believe is meant to convey power and strength over others (the lamb). If someone has considerable power, why waste it. Nietzsche may be trying to tell people to stop being timid and shying away from situations in which you utilize your power. A person with strength, should be expected to act accordingly, and therefore a weak person must follow in line and act according to their set. When Nietzsche stated, "To demand of strength that it should not express itself..." (45) he may be implying this very concept. That people are expected to act a certain way because of strength or power.
