OUAT Themes and Meanings – 2. Leap of Faith

leap-of-faith-3

Take a Leap of Faith:

Sometimes, even in the absence of proof or logic, we have to take a leap of faith. Emma took this to the literal sense, by jumping off the Jolly Roger to get the gang to stop fighting and work together. And Charming believed in his love for Snow so much, that he risked his life (and the vengeance of King George) and left Abigail. We should always be willing to take a chance, trust in others, or in ourselves – even when everything tells us not to.

What about you? How has taking a leap of faith been important to you in your life?

OUAT Themes and Meanings – 1. Hope

Candle-in-the-dark

Always Hold onto HOPE:

The theme of HOPE has been a staple in the world of Once Upon A Time from the start. We must always hold onto hope, in the darkest night or deepest valley, like a light in darkness or encouragement to keep moving forward. Hope is like fuel, waiting for our spark of action. We must believe in Hope’s power, and believe that it can get us through anything, because sometimes it feels like Hope is all we have. As Snow says in the episode that started it all: “believing in even the possibility of a happy ending is a very powerful thing”. The theme of HOPE has driven all of the Once Upon a Time characters. Can you think of all the hopes that the OUAT characters have held onto in the face of difficulty?

From the hope for love, hope for happiness, hope for a reunion with loved ones, and the hope that things will get better. No matter what life brings us, we must always hold onto hope.

What about you? How has hope and/or holding onto hope been important to you in your life?

In addition to its expansion into the U.K., its Vancouver unit led by supervising producer Randal Shore is beginning to operate out of a new, larger facility in the city’s Gastown section, which Brennan said would allow that team to double from 100 to 200 employees.”
