I linked it with the religious leaders, since right before that toad scene we see them eating on the table with Ofelias step dad. And the toad knows that the tree is dying, but doesnt do anything about it, he just doesnt care. Theres more to link the toad to religion, but I gotta re-watch it in order to go further, Im just telling you what my initial response was to that specific scene. That's very legitimate. I actually missed the scene the first time (HBO...), but it seems a lot can be drawn from the table scene. However, there's probably other intent that del Toro had, regardless of whether we pick up on it or not. |
