meta: The Freedom to Live: The Angels Take Manhattan

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.
