meta: The Freedom to Live: The Angels Take Manhattan

[lonewytch.livejournal.com]

A meta, written with so much love in me for the end of the story of Amelia Pond. Looking at: the episode as the final stage of Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey; Doctor Who as myth; River Song's role; the use of the X symbol, lightbulbs and eggs; mirroring, looking glasses and metaphors; juxtaposition of opposites; parallels with other stories. 

The battlefield is symbolic of the field of life, where every creature lives on the death of another.

Basically, stories just light our way through the dark.

Beautifully written and what wonderful gift you have to see such symbolism.
