Mythology Overload!: Ofelia's Three Tasks in Pan's Labyrinth
In my previous post about Pan's Labyrinth, Del Toro's 2006 Spanish film, I talked about the wide usage of ambiguity and also some of the evident mythological inspirations. As I discussed earlier, this movie is flooded with duality, either in the nature of characters, like the Faun, or in settings, like the labyrinth. In this blog I'll elaborate more on Ofelia's trials and her journey as the protagonist of the movie and her return to the underworld.
