Main Ideas

Main Ideas

  • Exploration of the duality of human nature and the internal conflict between good and evil.
  • The theme of identity and self-discovery, where the shadow becomes a symbol of hidden aspects of personality.
  • Critique of society and social norms, where outward appearances and status can overshadow a person's true essence.
  • Philosophical reflection on freedom and responsibility, where the shadow gains independence and begins to live its own life.
  • Motifs of illusion and reality, where the boundaries between them become blurred.
