Music
I had said in regard to Snape being good and mystical that one of the big things that changed my mind was the healing incantation that was "like a song," and had noted that Rowling uses music sparingly, so I thought I would point out something that came to mind recently as a result of seeing this lates movie. That is that the golden egg is a place she does use music. I'm not sure that this use of music is as high symbolically as the Pheonix song and Snape's Incantation (although I'm not completelty sure of the opposite either) but I do think there is some good pointed symbolism here. Particularly, it is only when heard in it's proper context that the music even sounds like music, and so there is a good focus on the need for context in understanding and communication. Of course there is also the fact that that context in this situation is the element of water. I'm not sure there is a strong significance to that fact, except for that it does fit in with the fact that while the music is beautiful and I think definitely on the good side, it is mysterious in that one cannot assume that the mer-people being on the side of the good will take the form one thinks. Sometimes it is mischievious and a bit dark etc. Just an observation. |
