So, picture this you're about six or eight sitting in your bed not able to sleep, but then your mom or dad and says it's time for bed. Then the typical response is wait can you tell me a story. Then your parent tells you a story about a cowboy, a great warrior, a princess, an alien, or even about a knight.
However, all these stories end how a child thinks it should end usually with the hero getting the girl or the princess finding true love. Though many of these stories are have moral doing that right thing always pay off, love is strange or check you before you wreck yourself, I don't know.
The one movie I loved to death was The Prince of Egypt, the reason why is yes the people are let free from pharaoh, but big but take this into perspective, he grew up with Ramses fought with him played with him and had each others back always. Then Moses kills a guard flees from Egypt fearing for his life, roams the desert then arrives in Midian. Where he saves the high priest daughters and marries one of them. Meets God (no big deal) in the form of a burning bush. Then told to go free the Israelites only to find not proven but most likely, Ramses as the new Pharaoh. I mean could you imagine that going home finding your bro is King and just straight up demanding to let my people go.
Moses had to suffer watching destroying his brother in laws reputation, but also had to see him suffer when Ramses firstborn was killed by the final plague. The irony right though Pharaoh killed many of the jews firstborn and so God brought the same fate for the Egyptians.
