LAKHESIS:
Hear me, fallen god. None defy
with the Fates decree. That is how
it must be. Only death awaits you
at the end of your journey.
KRATOS:
My death is what's begun this journey.
LAKHESIS:
The Fates have not deemed victory
for you. Your soul will never find
peace for what you have become.
KRATOS:
I am what the gods have made me!
A great, powerful fragment - if taken out context though, because in the context of GoW it makes no sense at all. It would, had the plotline been different. But in Jaffe's version it doesn't.
The problem is that Kratos was a ruthless monster long before he summoned Ares during the battle with barbarians. He started a total domestic war. He murdered, destroyed and burned on a massive scale. It's impossible to "rob" someone out of something they do not have. Therefore Ares could not rob Kratos out of his humanity because Kratos already was inhuman.
However, if he was portrayed as an ambitious but noble warrior cultivating the four cardinal Platonian virtues (wisdom, courage, moderation, justice) whom Ares transformed into a killing addcited beast, it would all make perfect sense.
