Guillermo del Toro’s 2006 film Pan’s Labyrinth is about a little girl, Ofelia, who moves with her mother to live with her new stepfather, Captain Vidal. Ofelia comes to learn that she is princess of the Underworld and, with the help from faeries, must complete magical tasks in order to escape Earth and her cruel stepfather and return to her throne in the mystical world (Pan’s Labyrinth). Del Toro’s main purpose of this film is to parallel the monsters and tasks Ofelia must overcome to fascist 1940s Spain (Kermode).

In the beginning of the book, the monster told the story of a prince who wanted to overthrow his step-mother who was the queen. Conor believed that the queen deserved punishment because she was evil, but when the monster explained what had truly happened, it turned out the prince was the one to blame.

Conor was bitter, hated his grandmother, and refused to live with her, and in the prince’s case, he hated the queen and could not stand her. Conor only saw the world in black and white and could not be more open minded to his opinions. In the second story, the monster tells the tale of a parson and an Apothecary.
