Princess Mononoke is not a story of good vs. evil or right vs. wrong. It’s a story of reconnecting with harmony. Of seeing that the totality these opposites encompass is much larger than the sum of its parts. Princess Mononoke’s complex characters represent the fact that within all of us are the capacities for love and hate, trust and fear, wisdom and ignorance, greed and generosity, violence and peace. And if we refuse to see the humanity of hateful people and respond with more hate, this hate will only multiply until it consumes us all.
