Zarathustra encounters "Higher Men" (representing different types of failed greatness) and ultimately realizes that his task is not to lead the masses, but to find those who can hear his message. The Three Metamorphoses

Despite its visionary power, Thus Spoke Zarathustra is also deeply problematic. Nietzsche’s contempt for the weak, for democracy, for women (the notorious line “You are going to women? Do not forget the whip!”), and for pity can be repulsive. Zarathustra’s insistence on solitude and hierarchy has been used to justify elitist and cruel social visions. However, to read the book as a political manual is to mistake poetry for policy. Nietzsche’s target is not the poor or the sick but the spirit of revenge that turns suffering into moral superiority. Zarathustra’s hardest lesson is that one must overcome even pity—not because suffering is good, but because pity can paralyze the other’s struggle for self-overcoming. asi hablo zaratustra libro
