Miyazakis film Princess Mononoke is set in the interface of the human and nonhuman world. Choose a scene(s) from the film and discuss how Miyazaki depicts this interaction, with attention to the questions below:
Are the nonhuman characters anthropomorphized to have human characteristics or are they depicted as acting entirely different than humans?
Is the nonhuman world dependent on the human world or is there a message that humans are not required to sustain nature? In other words, do the nonhuman characters have the right to exist apart from any values that humanity may derive from them.
