It's late, I'm tired, and I stated my views on this issue already, somewhere earlier on this thread. So I'll just say your analogy is totally inapt. Scarpia wanted Tosca, he did not "believe" or want Tosca to jump off the parapet. Tosca chose to jump to her death because she wanted to thwart Scarpia and because the love of her life was dead.

You like so missed it man. The opera Tosca is in my mind the the best representation of the workings of evil in modern opera. You make it sound as though Scarpia was a teenager with a hormone problem. He was an evil manipulative exploitive predator on the human race. But you are too morally blind to see that. That is why you and your friends here think that this predatory monster was just doing your dirty work and trying to off a couple of girls who offended your prudish morality. You think this is God's work, but boy are you wrong.
