From what we have learnt in the story, King Darius was a kind-hearted man whose mind came under the clutches of his evil courtmen. However, his true nature emerged victorious in the fight against wrongful decisions, and he made sure that he rectified the mistakes he had made under evil influences. That is what should be most important.People often deviate from the righteous path, but it is their inner goodness that allows them to break free from the clutches of whatever is bad. As a king, it was Darius’s duty to punish a law-breaker. However, as a good human being, he served the evil ministers well after saving an innocent soul.
