Os símbolos presentes na jornada da heroína empreendida pela Princesa Moana/Ofelia em El Laberinto Del Fauno

Abstract

El laberinto del fauno (2006), a film whose script was written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, condenses elements that represent the heroine's journey defended by Sacred Feminine theorists such as Pinkola (1992) and Murdock (1990), in the form of an initiatory journey of the character Princess Moana/Ofelia, the protagonist, and falls within the work perspective of ST04 - Literature, Culture, Religion and imaginaries: the myth and other knowledge, of the XV Interdisciplinary Meeting of Literary Studies, realized by Universidade Federal do Ceará between November 21 and 23, 2018. In El laberinto del fauno, the symbols go beyond those merely patent to delve into mysterious and mystically deeper meanings that lead the viewer to (re) visit ancient mythologies, religions, and knowledge. Here, we highlight here ten of these surreptitious symbols linked to interpretations that run away from the lines between the lines. For this, we have, in this bibliographic review, the theoretical contribution of scholars such as Câmara (2009, 2016), Ramos (2006) and Sá (2012), among others. We conclude that the work in question is not, as its title may lead us to suppose at first, a fairy tale aimed at the children's audience, but a fairy tale for adults, whose core orbits around the Fantastic Realism, the Sacred Feminine and the symbols that represent them. It is, in short, an invitation so that, as the Heroine Journey incites us, we turn inwards and, from this perspective, analyze it.
