Question

In Unit Four, we explored the role animals play in mythology. In what way does the owl take on a quasi-mythological role in The Gnomist? What details in the film serve to solidify this role

Answer 1

In the movie The Gnomist by director Sharon Liese, the owl takes a quasi-mythological role as he represented a little girl that passed away from cancer, such as animals represented human roles in mythology. The details in the film that serve to solidify this role is that the owl symbolizes hope as see by the mom of the little girl, and the craftsmen that constructed a little house inspired by the little girl story.
