Faust
How: Puppetry, Claymation, Live Action / Stop Motion
Trying to Communicate: Difference between what he feels he needs to do and what he wants.
As a puppet he’s doing what is right, or trying to? Without being a puppet he’s following what he wants, his base instincts, his lust.
Higher being controlling him, the Puppet Master. Tests him but also is controlling him it seems.
Puppetry is conforming. Letting the puppet master control him. The puppet master then sets him up to fail by making him a perfect temptress, even giving the puppet a vagina.
His Lust is his own creation, his consciousness (metastophilies) tells him that heaven isn’t that good, that man is greater than the gods.
He uses the phrase, Amor Vincit Omnia, which is known as “love conquers all”. Perhaps conquering all downfalls, such as a vice in a relationship, or his own issues.
The temptress runs away, and purposefully into darkness, he chases, the chase keeping him going, he sees the bones and the darkness, he follows without fail, his lust unwavering, blinding him.
She makes out as if it’s an accident, but is obvious


Lunch

Consumerism. Capitalism.
Poor follow and emulate the rich, consuming all they can, but when they run out of things to consume, the rich feed off the poor, consuming them, Banks, Loan Sharks.


Alice:
How: Pupperty Stopmotion / Live Action
Alice wants to be free, so she invisions a rabbit taking hold.

She’s tripping, imagining an escape from her room, which perhaps is a meaning of her life. And Her parents that don’t let her see anything.

Parent blocks her from reading the book, perhaps meaning also outside influences.
