1. Reveal The Hidden Self
The end of Claras epic journey is the beginning of the next one. The life of a heroine is a kind of never-ending quest there are always more kingdoms to defend and wizards to do battle with. The monster is defeated only to have the monster behind it revealed. If the John Hurt Doctor is the monster what is the consequence of not naming him? If we dont acknowledge the monsters they will name themselves. They will always surface returning and returning until they are seen and dealt with. Have we found the splinter of ice in the Doctors heart? Is he an essential part of the Doctors nature the dark to balance the light? We all must accept that coldness exists within us there must be a part of identity that can make the difficult decisions even when the consequences are harsh and painful. But there is danger in disowning that part of the psyche. Forgotten history is doomed to be repeated.
