The Others: Theme Analysis

In the film, The Others, there is a very predominate theme of religion. Throughout the entire movie Grace is extremely strict and persistent about her children reading, learning and acting according to the Bible. This theme is greatly significant to the story because of the ironic twist at the ending. Grace is constantly preaching to her children that bad misbehaved and sinful children go to the children's limbo. At the end of the movie when Grace and the children realize that they are dead all that they had learned and known of from the Bible was not all it had perceived to be.
