Q
Theme of Nature: Summary
A
In El laberinto del fauno, Guillermo del Toro presents nature as a force of freedom, resistance, and magic, contrasting it with the rigid, oppressive world of fascism. The forest acts as a physical and symbolic refuge, the faun and magical elements connect to an ancient, mystical world, and the rejection of nature (such as the destruction of the mandrake root) leads to suffering. Through cinematography, sound, and symbolism, Del Toro reinforces nature’s role as a sanctuary and a link to an older, magical reality.
