"Its easy to become anything you wish... so long as you are willing to forfeit your soul."
I think the quote means you can be anybody you want, but it may force you to change who you already are. I have been in many situations where i didn't fit in. I could've chosen to pretend to be somebody I knew i wasn't. It would've made me likable. But I chose to stand out and stay true to myself. One example was when I visited my brother in Philly for one summer break. I was staying in a rough neighborhood and i was one of very few who wasn't getting into gang related troubles on a daily basis. I chose to stay who I was because I knew that hanging out with those guys and getting into trouble was only going to land me in one of 2 places. Jail or the graveyard.

Panel 1 :
Quote - "Its easy to become anything you wish.. so long as you are willing to forfeit your soul."
Analysis- This quote and picture represent the idea that you can be anyone you want but it , may require abandoning some of the things that make you who you are.
Panel 2:
Quote - "I do not make mistakes little monkey. A monkey I intended you to be, a monkey you are."
Analysis - To me this quote means that you were created as yourself for a reason and you can try to cover it up but you will always be who you were meant to be.

Panel 1:
Quote - "So what am i supposed to do now?"
"You know Jin, I would have saved myself from 500 years of imprisonment beneath a mountain of rock had i only realized how good it is to be a monkey."
Analysis - This is where Jin and the monkey king have a heart to heart. The Monkey King tells Jin that 500 years of his life were wasted because he didnt realize how fun it was to actually be himself. This means that you gain nothing from trying to be someone you arent.
Panel 2 :
Quote - " And a word from her lips ... yes."
Analysis - This quote may seem minor but I think it has a deeper meaning. Jin finally built up enough confidence to ask Amelia out and she said agreed. I think this magnifies the idea that you will never get anything you dont ask for.
