Lost, Morel, Surrealist

After having watched the “Dave” episode of Lost and finished reading The Invention of Morel the similarity had to do with the aspect of hallucination or the imaginary realm. The main characters in both began to realize that the things or people that they were seeing were not really there. This idea then ties into the reading “First Surrealist Manifesto” by Andre Breton where he talks about the unconscious and its influence of the human mind that Freud mentions. Through this idea of surrealism, people are able to transcend beyond the realities of society and allow the thought to function freely without reason controlling our thoughts.
